Looking to secure their future, a husband and wife approached us to explore the opportunity to invest in property via a self-managed superannuation fund (smsf). The husband and wife had less than $100,000 in super between them. The wife had a sister who was also interested in joining them in the fund, she had $70,000.
Prestige Accounting together with our partners, assisted them to combine their super in a smsf and purchase a property. The clients were very comfortable in including a sister into the fund as superannuation is kept completely separate from your own personal finances outside of super and each member has their own balance within the fund.
Four years later, the value of the property has increased significantly, and together with the ongoing employer contributions into the fund, the fund has now doubled in value.
