What is Self Managed Super?
The name kind of speaks for itself — a self managed superannuation fund is a way for individuals or a group of up to six people to provide financial stability in retirement. It can also ensure your family is taken care of financially if you die before you reach retirement.
It gives you control over where your funds are invested, but there are caveats in respect of taxation and where you can invest. ATB’s SMSF super fund dedicated financial advisors will ensure your future is protected by helping you avoid the pitfalls.
We understand that setting up and managing a self managed super fund is a financial decision not to be taken lightly. With the services ATB offers, you will have peace of mind knowing your self funded super is being managed efficiently.
Communication is key to a good relationship with your financial advisor, which is why we take the time to get to know you and what you want. You (and your trustees) will be kept up to date with what is happening with your SMSF super fund — especially in respect of ATO SMSF tax compliance and concessions, and SIS regulations. We want to make sure your fund works for you and you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to.

Benefits of an SMSF
Investments
Putting your superannuation in a self-managed fund offers you a wide range of investment choices, how you invest, and what you invest in. This could be residential or commercial property, direct shares, collectibles, artwork, term deposits and more. There are, however, stringent criteria to meet to make sure your SMSF maintains compliance — our SMSF specialists can guide you on this.
We can also help with the investment created by purchasing your business property within your SMSF.
Flexibility
Self managed superannuation also offers you a level of flexibility and control, enabling you and your trustees to tailor your fund to meet your circumstances and needs. With ATB’s help, you can keep on top of market changes, or take up opportunities as they become available.

Pooled Resources
An SMSF can have up to six members, meaning a larger pool of money for investments that might be out of an individual’s reach. The combined resources of the members can also help reduce the fees associated with running the fund.
Protection for Assets
In general, creditors cannot access your superannuation. This means that the assets in the funds could be protected should a member face bankruptcy.
