Trade your Self Managed Superannuation Fund

Responsible SMSF Management

You owe it to yourself and your family to take SMSF management very seriously. This responsibility is not fulfilled unless you know:

• What risk you are comfortable with and the corresponding return expectations.
• The exact strategies you are going to employ with your SMSF capital.
• Your risk management rules to ensure you stay within your risk appetite.

Can You Beat Fund Managers?

Australia has seen a huge wave of people taking control of their retirement funding plan by starting their own SMSF.

Unfortunately though, many people who think they can do a better job than the pro’s quickly work out that it is harder than it looks. And why wouldn’t it be – do you seriously think you’re smarter than the combined talent employed by the average fund manager? Of course you’re not.

The good news is that you don’t have to be as smart as a fund manager, because you have less money. This might sound strange, but it is much easier to beat the market with small capital pools than with large.

It basically comes down to market impact. Small trades have a negligible effect on the market which means we can use strategies that take advantage of niche market efficiencies that the big end of town simply can’t participate in.

The net result of this phenomenon is that you can expect to do much better than large fund managers, provided you have the strategies to do so.
