Frequently asked questions
Download FAQWhat is a Self-managed super fund (SMSF)?
A Self-Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF) is a super fund where you're in the driver’s seat. You're both a member and a trustee. You choose the investment strategy and manage the investments. An SMSF is flexible enough to allow you to invest in direct assets like property, private companies, and international assets.Can you use your super to buy a house?
You can access your superannuation once you have reached preservation age (for most people that’s 60) and retired, or after you turn 65 even if you’re still working. This means you can take it out all or some of your super to use to buy a house or pay off a mortgage or whatever you want.Who can be a trustee or a member of an SMSF?
A trustee can be any person over the age of 18 can be a trustee of an SMSF provided they are not a disqualified person or under a legal disability. A company may also act as trustee of an SMSF, with the directors the members of the fund. Members of an SMSF are also the trustees of the SMSFs, so they control how contributions are invested and how benefits are paid, subject to regulatory controls. Special rules apply to members, and trustees have responsibility for all aspects of running the SMSF. Talk to an SMSF Specialist provider and find out if an SMSF is right for you.
