The first question many investors ask about
self-managed super funds (SMSFs) is why
they should use one. Well, the potential
benefits can be great, but it really comes
down to your individual situation. While
SMSFs are ideal for some people, they
are unsuitable for others. Making the
right decision will come down to getting
professional advice that takes your particular
circumstances and future goals into account.
