Is DIY Super for you?

If your accountant or financial planner recommends setting up a Self-Managed Super Fund, how can you make sure it really will give you the best deal?

A self-managed fund is really only worth your while if you:

  • Have a minimum of $200,000 to invest;
  • Have some investment expertise and understand the importance of proper investment strategies;
  • Have the time and interest to be involved with your fund;
  • Understand the responsibilities that come with being a trustee; and
  • Can have your employer contributions paid into the fund.
