Overview
Within AdviserLogic’s Digital Advice solution, SMSF (Self-Managed Super Fund) strategies help advisers build compliant, tailored advice that covers technical, compliance and practical aspects of SMSF setup and management. One such strategy is Using an Administration Service, which guides you to recommend a third-party SMSF administration provider when appropriate. This strategy helps reduce administrative burden for clients and ensures compliance tasks are professionally handled.
Custom Strategy
Using an Administration Service SMSF Strategy is a Custom Strategy, a template with prefilled text relevant to the recommendation, rather than a strategy that calculates data.
Custom strategies are designed to reduce the time and effort required for drafting in the advisory process. By providing pre-filled text data relevant to the selected strategy, advisors do not need to start from scratch, saving valuable time.
To learn more about Strategy Types, please read the Strategy Cheat Sheet.
