Self-managed super funds, often abbreviated as SMSFs and known as DIY super, represent a method of preparing for your retirement. An SMSF is a personal retirement fund where you take on the role of trustee and fund manager, making all necessary investment decisions on your own behalf.
The key distinction between an SMSF and other superannuation funds lies in the management structure. In an SMSF, the members also serve as the trustees, meaning they manage the fund themselves. This is different from other types of superannuation funds, where investment decisions are typically made by a professional fund manager.
If you are considering investing in an SMSF via Saxo but have not set up an SMSF yet, we recommend checking out the Australian government's Money Smart Guide to determine if an SMSF is the right fit for your financial goals.
