SMSF Mate was created by four mates sick of the BS surrounding superannuation.
We simply wanted honest advice and better returns, so we learnt how to do it ourselves.
SMSF Mates is a cumulation of a group of mates coming together over beers and discussing their SMSF stories. We realised the information that underpinned our stories were not out there on a website to help people on their SMSF journey.
We wanted to create a site that would allow mates to gather information and allow them to have meaningful discussions with other mates, whether they be advisers, friends, or family. We want our fellow Aussies to be more active in their SMSFs.
Our hope is that SMSF mate becomes a trusted source of general information for present and future SMSF mates to be better informed and have a more meaningful SMSF journey.

In uncertain times, many investors are looking for alternative ways to secure their wealth, and one avenue that has gained popularity is owning gold in a self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF). With the value of traditional assets fluctuating, gold is considered by many to be a safe haven asset. If you're considering diversifying your SMSF portfolio and adding gold bullion to it, have a listen to this week's SMSF Mate Podcast with Rob Joseph from My SMSF Property.
There are two primary options for owning gold in an SMSF: physical bullion or an exchange-traded fund (ETF). Physical bullion allows you to hold actual gold bars or coins, providing you with a tangible asset that can be stored securely. On the other hand, an ETF provides exposure to gold without the need for physical possession. It is a more convenient option, especially for those who prefer a hands-off approach to investing.
When adding gold to your SMSF, it is important to consider your investment strategy and the potential risks involved. Gold can act as a hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations, but it does come with its own set of risks. So, before diving into the world of gold investments, it is advised to seek professional advice and thoroughly research the market. In uncertain times, owning gold in an SMSF can provide stability and security to your retirement savings.

Much like a regular superannuation fund, an SMSF is an excellent way for you to save for your retirement.
The key difference of an SMSF is that the members of the fund have much more flexibility with how they manage the investments in the fund.
Running an SMSF includes things like managing the investments, preparation of financial statements, compliance with the fund and completing the annual audit requirements.
Let’s talk about the pros and cons of having an SMSF with Gareth, Ashwin and Tim as they talk about their personal experiences when running an SMSF.
