Cost is only part of the decision

An SMSF gives you control over investments, including direct property and shares, but every member becomes a trustee who is legally responsible for the fund. Before deciding, consider:

  • the time needed to manage investments, keep records and review the investment strategy
  • whether you would lose insurance cover held in your current fund
  • the sole purpose test and the rules on dealings with members and relatives
  • what happens to the fund if a trustee becomes ill, separates or dies

The SMSF figures here are examples, not our prices. The ATO supervisory levy is currently $259 a year. We'll give you a fixed quote before any work starts.
