What is a Self-Managed Super Fund?
• Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs)
are financial vehicles for retirement savings.
• The difference between a SMSF and other
types of funds is that the members of a SMSF
are usually also the trustees.
This means the members of the SMSF run it
for their own benefit and are responsible for
complying with super and tax legislation.
Anne Street Partners Pty Ltd. ABN 25 107 671 56314
What is a Self-Managed Super Fund?
• A super fund with up to 4 members
• All members are trustees or directors of
corporate trustee
• All trustees are members
• Regulated by the ATO
• No member of the fund is an employee of
another member (unless related)
• Trustee are not able to be remunerated for
their duties as trustees
Anne Street Partners Pty Ltd. ABN 25 107 671 56315
Did you know?
• There are over 525,000 SMSFs in Australia
containing approximately 30% of the $2.05 trillion
held within superannuation.
• Over 1 million Australians have a SMSF and
embraced the vehicle as a useful tool to save for
their retirement
• In 1998 only 12% of Australia’s superannuation
wealth was contained within SMSFs compared to
more than 30% today.
Anne Street Partners Pty Ltd. ABN 25 107 671 56317
Why choose Self – Managed Super?
• Asset types
• Personal investment strategy
• Pooling of super funds – family/friends
• Limited recourse borrowing arrangements (LRBA)
• Tax planning
• Estate planning
• Acquisition of business premises
• Running cost / economy of scale
In a word - CONTROL

Important considerations
• Roles & responsibilities of trustee
• Existing insurance cover
• Allocation of time
• Outsourcing of services
• Minimum superannuation balance
• No access to Superannuation
Complaints Tribunal
• Living permanently overseas
Anne Street Partners Pty Ltd. ABN 25 107 671 56319
Trustee responsibilities
• SMSF trustees have ultimate responsibility for the
operation, management and compliance of the fund
• The primary obligation is to ensure the fund is maintained
only for the purposes of providing retirement benefits to its
members
• This is the Sole Purpose test
Anne Street Partners Pty Ltd. ABN 25 107 671 56320
Role of a trustee
• Act honestly in all matters concerning the
fund
• Exercise skill, care and diligence in
managing the fund
• Act in the best interest of the members
• Ensure members only access benefits
once condition of release is met
Trustees are required by law to:
Anne Street Partners Pty Ltd. ABN 25 107 671 56321
Role of a trustee
• Ensure members’ personal monies are kept
separate from the funds
• Take appropriate action to protect the fund’s
assets
• Comply with all regulations under the
Superannuation Industry Supervision (SIS) Act
• Prepare, implement and regularly review a
fund investment strategy
Trustees are required by law to:
Anne Street Partners Pty Ltd. ABN 25 107 671 56322
Role of an Administrator
• Acts as the tax agent for the fund and assists
with the annual compliance requirements
• Prepares annual tax return and financial
statements
• Lodges annual tax return with ATO
• Different levels of service offerings available
• Works with the Auditor to arrange the
completion of the annual audit
Anne Street Partners Pty Ltd. ABN 25 107 671 56323
Role of an Auditor
• It is a formal requirement that each SMSF is
audited by an approved auditor, registered
with ASIC, on an annual basis
• Provide an independent audit of the fund’s
accounts along with a SIS compliance audit
• The auditor will notify the trustees of any
concerns raised during the audit. Depending
on the severity the auditor may be required to
raise an audit contravention report with the
regulator, the ATO, for further action
Anne Street Partners Pty Ltd. ABN 25 107 671 56324
Role of an Adviser
• As a SMSF is a complex structure it is
imperative that the trustees form a close
relationship with a Financial Adviser for
ongoing education, guidance and advice
• For funds entering LRBAs many lenders
require the fund to obtain independent
financial advice
• Strategic planning for structure and
diversification
• Risk guidance
Anne Street Partners Pty Ltd. ABN 25 107 671 56325
Tax considerations
• Generally, the superannuation environment is
subject to a concessional tax rate of 15%
– Negatively geared investments
– Fully franked dividends
– Discounted capital gains tax
– TTR strategies
• An SMSF trustee has control over the timing
of asset disposals and acquisitions which
allows the trustee to maximise the tax position
of the fund
Anne Street Partners Pty Ltd. ABN 25 107 671 56326
Estate planning
• Ordinarily a super death benefit does not form
part of your estate
• Legislation only permits Super death benefits
to be paid to:
– Estate
– Spouse
– Child
– Any other person in interdependency
relationship
Anne Street Partners Pty Ltd. ABN 25 107 671 56327
Estate planning
• Super dependent vs Tax dependent
• Check the trust deed
• Review estate plan regularly
• Inter-generational wealth transfer strategies
can be adopted using a SMSF
