In this episode of SMSF Insider, host Troy, founder of Blue Chip SMSF Services, discusses the key differences between industry funds and self-managed super funds (SMSFs). Troy highlights that industry funds operate on a percentage-based fee structure, making them suitable for individuals with lower balances, as they offer a more hands-off approach to superannuation management. In contrast, SMSFs require more active management and reporting obligations but provide greater control and a wider range of investment options, making them ideal for those with higher balances. Tune in as Troy answers common questions and breaks down misconceptions to help listeners take charge of their financial independence.
