Most SMSFS pay extra fees for identical investments #TaxControl

Description

In the early 2000s I reviewed a self managed super fund that a client moved to under the promise of more control and direct assets. What I found was the same managed funds they already held, plus extra fees, a tax return and an audit. No added value.

That moment changed the way I advised. If clients want real control, we go direct. We choose the sectors, we manage the tax events, and we avoid unnecessary layers of cost. Direct ownership lets us offset gains, manage losses and spread outcomes across different structures when appropriate.

Lower fees, stronger tax control and knowing exactly what we own is powerful. This approach has produced outstanding long term results.

General advice only. AFSL 495401.
