Establishing a Self-Managed Superannuation Fund
We can manage the set-up process for you, making a complex process easy. We can give you guidance on your responsibilities as the Trustee of your SMSF.
You can set your SMSF up to suit your current life stage and then it can progress to reflect the changes in your life as you get closer to retirement and enter retirement. For example, during the years when you are able to contribute to your SMSF you can use it to accumulate funds and when you have sufficient funds, invest. At age 55 you can start a transition to a retirement pension and at age 60, should you be able to, you can enter full pension mode.
Naturally it is important to understand the costs involved in setting-up a SMSF. We can advise you on that and manage all the compliance requirements related to set-up and ongoing management of your fund.
In summary the services we can offer you for your SMSF are:
- set up of the SMSF including trust deeds, and all related documents, including completing all relevant registrations
-
set up of a company to act as a corporate trustee, and corporate secretarial services as required
