Pre-Retirement FAQs
Can I set up an SMSF before retirement?
Most Australians can set up an SMSF, but there are important eligibility and compliance requirements. You need to be over 18, not bankrupt, and able to act as a trustee. Our experts can guide you through the qualifications.
If you have questions about your specific situation, our team is here to help.
When is the best time to start planning my SMSF for retirement?
Ideally, start planning your SMSF well before retirement (5+ years) to maximise your wealth accumulation and ensure a smooth transition. Early planning allows more time to benefit from tax advantages and investment growth.
Don’t worry if you’re getting a late start; it’s never too late to seek guidance and make informed decisions.
What are the main risks of managing my own super fund?
Managing your own super fund comes with additional responsibilities and risks – ensuring compliance, investment decisions, and potential penalties for mistakes. ARC Super provides clear guidance to help you manage and mitigate these risks confidently.
Understanding the risks early can prevent costly errors later in life.
How can an SMSF benefit my retirement plans?
An SMSF offers greater control, flexibility, and potential tax benefits for your retirement savings. You can customise your investments to fit your goals and risk preferences, helping you retire on your own terms.
A personalised approach ensures your retirement strategy reflects your needs.
