Advantages of Self-Managed Superannuation

Managing your own superannuation has become extremely popular in Australia and there are many reasons why. Superannuation regulations are very complex, but a basic summary of the main advantages would include: 

• Significant tax concessions
• Tax-deductible contributions and pre-retirement earnings within the fund are taxed at 15%
• Once you have retired or turned 65 all earnings within the fund are tax-free
• Once you have turned 60 all drawings from the fund are tax-free
• The ability to borrow within your self-managed superfund to invest and access potentially greater returns. Many people utilise this leverage concession to invest in property 
• Greater control over your investment portfolio
• Greater control over your retirement income
• Can be more economical than paying a public superfund percentage fees for larger accounts

However, there are some disadvantages and a self-managed superannuation fund may not be right for your circumstances.
