Download or read book Self Managed Superannuation in Retirement a Personal History Through the Global Financial Crisis written by Robert T. Gemmell and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-08-17 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a personal story and is in no way to be taken as financial advice. I have described the successes and failures that were experienced during the ten years from 2005 to 2016, a time when the financial markets plunged due to the global financial crisis (GFC) and the subsequent recovery. Investments were made in stocks, property trusts, mortgage funds, and fixed interest. With this approach, an annual income from dividends and franking, distributions, and fixed interest was maintained. Although the capital and income were reduced from 2008 through to 2016, they have increased annually. Long may it continue. Fortunately, the fund was started in 2005 and double-figure returns were received through 2006 to 2008. At this time, the investing game seemed easy. Everything changed with the GFC. The value of our shares decreased by 56 percent and the fund by 40 percent; it was a worrying time for everybody. In this book, the changes made to the portfolio to combat the fall in income and value of the fund are described. And although in 2016 the fund has not reached 2007 levels, it shows signs of recovery. This book does not outline a fail-safe method for running a self-managed superannuation fund. Do not believe anyone who professes to have one. However, the information provided hopefully will encourage other retirees who wish to set up their own self-managed superannuation funds. Inevitably, mistakes will be with made. Everybody will make the wrong choices at times and lose money. In the long run, one just has to pick more winners than losers.

Download or read book Who Starts a Self Managed Superannuation Fund and Why written by Ron Bird and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-managed superannuation funds (SMSFs) - small retirement savings funds with four or fewer members - now manage almost one third of retirement savings in Australia, and serve over one million members. The number of SMSFs has increased to more than half a million in two decades. Yet little is known about the reasons people start the funds and how they are operated. We combine survey responses of more than 500 SMSF members and 500 large superannuation fund members to understand the motivation of SMSF members and how they compare with similar people who stay with a large fund. Control over investments and tax minimisation are the most common reasons for starting a fund. Satisfaction with large funds and unwillingness to take on the administrative burden of self-management are the most common reasons for not doing so. SMSF members do not show more financial skill than non-members, but they do express a higher risk tolerance and a more trusting attitude to financial professionals. We present evidence that the majority of SMSF members start their funds at the suggestion of financial professionals. We also show that the types of people who say they are thinking about starting a SMSF are different in significant ways from the types of people who end up as SMSF members, further evidence for the influence of the advice industry.

Download or read book The Self Managed Superannuation Trustee s Handbook written by Peter Bishell and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-02 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are more than 700,000 self managed superannuation trustees in 360,000 Australian funds with in excess of $300 billion under management. The Self Managed Superannuation Trustee's Handbook will assist trustees to understand their role and comply with their legal obligations. Covering topics such as fund compliance, trustee duties and powers, fund administration, contributions and benefits, investment of funds and the sole purpose test, The Self Managed Superannuation Trustee's Handbook is an essential education tool for both active and passive trustees. Self managed superannuation fund trustees are consistently being informed by the regulator (the ATO) that they must gain a proper understanding of their roles and responsibilities as trustees. When the ATO ran nationwide courses covering the basics they could not cope with the demand. Most SMSF trustees want to comply with the law and are willing to educate themselves to ensure that they do. Their problem has been that there are only a very limited number of professional advisers who understand all the relevant issues and accessing their services can be very expensive. Furthermore, trustees of SMSFs get frustrated by the continual contradictions in reports concerning their obligations contained in the financial press. As operators of SMSFs, they are large consumers of self-help materials regarding superannuation and related topics. SMSF trustees need one informed, authoritative book that sets out their roles and responsibilities in terms of the law, their relationship with the regulator and helps them to assess the truth or otherwise of statements they hear from other sources. The Self Managed Superannuation Trustee's Handbook provides all the information trustees require.
