THIS week’s $55 million bailout of the Trio Capital funds — which did not apply to investors in self-managed superannuation funds — is not an argument against having a self-managed superannuation fund.
But it is an argument that those who do not have the interest or the skills to take an active interest in the management of their money would be better off opting for their employer’s default fund, an industry superannuation fund or a major reputable fund.
Those considering taking their money out of an established super fund and putting it in a self-managed superannuation fund — who are being convinced to do so by a “friendly” financial adviser offering to take on the hassle of handling paperwork and annual tax returns — should think again.
Having a self-managed superannuation fund can offer a considerable degree of flexibility and control for those who know what they are doing.
