Overview
Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) allow individuals to take control of their retirement savings, providing greater flexibility and investment choice. These funds are managed by trustees who are responsible for compliance, investment decisions, and administration.
Adding an SMSF correctly in AdviserLogic ensures that:
✔ Superannuation balances, contributions, and investment allocations are accurately recorded.
✔ Trustee details, beneficiary nominations, and compliance information are properly documented.
✔ Fund details are seamlessly integrated into financial modelling and retirement strategy development.
