Each type of superannuation fund has its own features but setting up an SMSF provides some unique advantages worth considering.

Here are six features of SMSFs:

  1. Business property leasing and deductions
  2. Buying and selling investments
  3. Control the timing of investments for tax advantages
  4. Potential cost savings
  5. Estate planning alternatives
  6. Asset protection from creditors
