Just like its name, an SMSF is self managed therefore it gives you control over the decisions made in the superfund. You have the power to choose and develop an investment strategy that is tailored to your needs and have a direct say in all investment decisions (unlike retail or industry superfunds).
You will have access to a wider choice of investment options such as listed shares, real estate, corporate bonds and managed investments. You will also have the ability to buy or sell individual investments whereas other superannuation funds do not offer this service.
There is also the option for you to borrow within your SMSF to give you leverage for certain investments. As mentioned earlier, a bigger fund balance will allow you to better diversify your investments and give you access to certain investments that require a high balance such as commercial property.
An SMSF will also allow you to plan and structure effectively for certain tax events that is not available in a public offer fund.
There are a range of benefits ***** that an SMSF can offer. However it is not suitable for everyone - and if you are not familiar with investment strategies and superannuation tax laws, it is highly recommended that you seek professional advice from a financial planner before setting up your own SMSF.
