A Self Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF) is typically a family or one-member fund, with a maximum of four members. SMSFs are established by people who may want an independent, professionally managed super fund or a more hands-on approach. 

In recent years, many Australians have turned to SMSFs for greater control, flexibility and choice – but they’re not for everyone.  Ord Minnett Private Client Advisers have all the expertise and resources to help you evaluate whether an SMSF is the best solution for you and to establish and maintain your Fund.

  • You may be able to reduce the costs involved in managing your investments
  • You may be able to broaden your choice of investments and have more control over investment strategies
