Is a SMSF right for you?
Every individual has different motivations in respect to their choice of retirement vehicles. This choice provides Australians with enormous power when selecting where to hold their superannuation assets. While there are many benefits to using a SMSF as your preferred retirement vehicle the final decision as to whether a SMSF is right for you will ultimately be a personal decision. We have noted below some of the key issues for someone considering whether a SMSF is right for them:
Control – Do you want the ability to control the choice of investments for your superannuation?
Flexibility – Do you want the flexibility and freedom of choice of maintaining your own personal superannuation fund?
Cost savings – Do you have sufficient money in superannuation to take advantage of the cost savings associated with running a SMSF?
Family Super Fund – Are you attracted to having a family retirement fund for you and your spouse and potentially the next generation?
Trustee responsibilities – Are you prepared to take on the responsibility for maintaining the SMSF for the sole purpose of providing for the retirement of the members?
Ongoing involvement – Are you prepared to invest the time to regularly review the operations of your SMSF, including the investment performance?
If you answered YES to most of the above questions then you should seriously consider a Self Managed Superannuation Fund.
