Take control of your retirement
A self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) is a fund where the members are the trustees of the fund. That is, the members actively manage the operation and the investments of the fund.
Get the guidance you need
An SMSF can be a lot of work to set up initially and then to manage on an ongoing basis. It’s also critical that your fund complies with the many rules that apply to superannuation in general, and SMSFs in particular.
The good news is that it is easy to enjoy the benefits of an SMSF without the hard work.
LDB are experts in the creation, ongoing administration and compliance of SMSFs.
Our team of professionals possess the full range of expertise required to ensure the success of your SMSF.
In setting up your SMSF, we guide you through every step, including:
We'll help you make the right choices
Advising on the choice between individual trustees or a corporate trustee
Then help with clear, detailed trust creation
Creation of the trust and the trust deed
Plus basic administration
Applying for a Tax File Number (TFN) and Australian Business Number (ABN)
WIth a considered investment strategy
Ensuring a relevant investment strategy is prepared in accordance with the member’s needs
Then setup the right bank account
Assistance with the opening of the SMSF’s bank account
Finally, managing benefits
Facilitating the rollover of benefits from your current super funds.
If not set up correctly, an SMSF runs the risk of being a ‘non-complying’ fund.
The penalties for this can be severe, ranging from large fines to loss of tax concessions, so it’s essential that everything is done ‘by the book’.
