I would have to agree Christopher, SMSFs are not just about tax savings! Being able to provide a customised service and multi-faceted investment platform for SMSF clients is what has built the SMSF sector into the behemoth it has become. With good reason, all SMSF advisers read carefully any dire warning of decline, but can take stock in servicing your clients well will continue to build your business. Regards, Ryan Grant | Financial Adviser | WRS
I agree with you Ryan this kind of negative rubbish continues to bag any form of super but the industry funds yet I receive enquiries about SMSFs on a regular basis. Innovative, compliant strategies can provide the average Australian with sound and proigressive investments within their super to drive their future forward. I am astounded that this sector is currently being hit with negative rhetoric when it is the only thing that will keep our economy moving forward in the years to come when the social security bills are bigger than our national expenditure.Client service and innovation will keep this large sector moving forward no matter what the differing bodies throw out there. I just get sick of hearing it!
