In this episode of SMSF Insider, host Troy, founder of Blue Chip SMSF Services, delves into the fundamentals of self-managed super funds (SMSFs). He explains what an SMSF is, a private superannuation fund that you control, allowing you to make your own investment decisions without a fund manager's oversight. Troy emphasizes the complexities involved in setting up an SMSF and advises listeners to engage a professional rather than attempting to do it themselves to avoid potential mistakes. He also outlines the investment opportunities available within an SMSF and discusses the typical structure involving up to six members, often consisting of families.
