This is a practical, plain English guide that takes you from the start-up of your self managed superannuation fund (SMSF) to the death of a member and final wind up of your SMSF. We cover how to set up and then use your SMSF to create wealth, pay an income stream from superannuation and estate planning, including the distribution of a member’s estate on death and much, much more.  Whilst most people with superannuation are aware that their super will give them a lump sum of money or income when they retire, more people are increasingly looking at the available options to build more wealth in a tax effective way. We explain the alternative way to build and protect retirement savings. We continue to deepen our Keep It Super Simple (KISS) approach to show how superannuation money can be managed within your SMSF.

• setting up and running your SMSF

• superannuation accumulation phase

• investment choices

• superannuation retirement phase and withdrawals

• estate planning and death benefits

It is a valuable tool for everyone contemplating or currently involved in the SMSF process, including trustees, individual members and professionals and people with money already in superannuation.
