Investing for yourself doesn’t have to mean by yourself

If you're considering an SMSF but don't know where to start, Burrell's SMSF services can help. We make the complex simple.

The advantages of SMSFs

1. Transparency. You see your own investments and track their performance. The more you see and know, the more you become engaged in your super to maximise the strategy and ultimately your retirement funds.
2. Control. You can become highly involved in implementing your personal investment strategy. And you can tailor it – you can invest in a broad range of products (such as listed securities, managed investments, cash, property, etc) under a single trust deed, and reduce your costs through substantial economies of scale.
3. Flexibility. You have the ability to alter your fund's investment strategy to meet changes in personal circumstances, economic conditions or legislation. You can also have your personal super and pension fund within the same trust deed.
4. Tax incentives and reduced costs. SMSFs may allow you to transfer existing assets into a more tax-effective environment. You can also access investment gearing opportunities and tax-effective share trading strategies. Plus, SMSFs may offer lower ongoing fees than sole provider and master funds.

How do we help?

• administration services
• a comprehensive portfolio management service
