The ins and outs of Self Managed Super Funds

Nick joins us once again for the 3 and final in a mini series to talk about SMSFs or Self Managed Superannuation Funds. These are very common among those who run their own business and those who want to have more control over how their superannuation is invested. Trudi, Sarah and Nick take you through why, why and when you should consider a SMSF and the upfront and ongoing costs of having an SMSF. They also talk about some of the special rules and restrictions that apply to SMSFs as they are a highly regulated product. If you ever wanted to know more about SMSFs or have considered setting one up, this is a great episode to start with on your learning journey.
