This research report co-presented by Rice Warner and the SMSF Association, proudly supported by SuperConcepts, aims to educate, inform and assist existing and potential SMSF investors decide if an SMSF is a suitable and effective retirement savings vehicle for them.
This report provides valuable insights to guide potential SMSF advice and can be used as a key reference point for all involved in the decision-making process. It is crucial SMSF investors have up to date knowledge and adequate education to be engaged and legally responsible to control their Self Managed Super Fund, ideally in partnership with an independently accredited SMSF Specialist Advisor.
