• Self Managed Super Fund Lending - In recent history many people have seen their savings in their superannuation fund take a dive. In light of this more and more people are considering putting their savings into a self managed super fund (“SMSF”) as a strategy for their retirement savings

The benefits of having a SMSF include:

1. People have control over choosing their own investment strategy for their retirement;
2. If set up and administered in accordance with law, SMSFs are entitled to receive significant tax concessions;
3. Recent changes in legislation allow SMSFs to acquire a greater variety of investment assets including borrowing to acquire property.

The team at RMB Lawyers have SMSF specialists and can put you in contact with Financial advisers and accountants who can help you set up and run your SMSF.
