What Our Clients Say

Types Of Superannuation Funds

  • Accumulation Funds: The most common type of superannuation fund in Australia. Your balance grows over time through regular contributions and investment earnings, and the final amount you retire with depends on how much is contributed and how well your investments perform.
  • Defined Benefit Funds: Unlike accumulation funds, where your balance depends on contributions and investment returns, defined benefit funds provide a guaranteed benefit at retirement. The final amount is usually calculated based on your salary, years of service, and a set formula. These funds are less common today and are mostly available to public sector or long-term corporate employees.
  • Industry Super Funds: Originally designed for workers in particular industries, these funds typically offer low fees and simple, easy-to-understand investment options. These are the super accounts that are often set up by your employer when you start a new job.
  • Retail Super Funds: Retail super funds are suited to individuals looking for more flexibility and control over how their super is managed. They typically offer a wide range of investment options, from simple pre-mixed portfolios to more tailored strategies like direct shares and ETFs. These funds often come with additional features such as easy online account management and detailed performance reporting.
  • Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs): SMSFs give you full control over how your super is managed, allowing you to choose your own investments and tailor your strategy to suit your specific financial goals. SMSFs also offer the flexibility to invest in a wider range of assets, including direct property, which isn’t typically available through other super fund types.

Which Fund Is Most Suited To You?

Choosing the right superannuation fund is an important step in building a secure and comfortable retirement. The best option for you will depend on your personal goals, financial situation, investment preferences, and how involved you want to be in managing your super. There are several types of super funds available, and we can help you determine which one is best suited to your needs when planning superannuation.

SELF MANAGED SUPERANNUATION FUNDS (SMSFs)

Self-managed super is a popular choice for Australians who want more control over their retirement savings. Many people are drawn to SMSFs because they offer greater flexibility with how and where you invest your money.

What is Self-Managed Super?

A Self-Managed Super Fund is a private super fund that you run yourself. As the trustee, you’re responsible for making all the decisions—from developing your investment strategy to managing insurance and ensuring ongoing compliance with legal obligations.

In addition to the standard tax advantages of super, SMSFs can offer enhanced flexibility for both tax and estate planning—making them an attractive option for those looking to take a more active role in managing their wealth.

At MN8 Wealth, we make SMSFs simple. We’ll help you decide if an SMSF is the right fit for your situation and guide you through the setup and ongoing management process. Our support doesn’t stop at advice—we’ll provide ongoing support to ensure you continue to meet all trustee responsibilities and stay on top of regulatory changes.

With expert advice, local experience, and tailored support, our team delivers superannuation services Ipswich clients trust—especially when it comes to managing and maximising SMSFs, as part of a broader Ipswich financial strategy.

Effective superannuation planning ensures you minimise tax, grow your retirement savings, and take full advantage of estate planning opportunities to support your family.
You may benefit from specific strategies if:

  • You’ve received a windfall or lump sum and want to invest it tax-effectively through super.
  • Your spouse has a lower income, and you’d like to consider spouse contributions or contribution splitting to even out retirement savings and reduce tax.
  • You’re a high-income earner and want to reduce your taxable income through salary sacrifice arrangements.
  • You run your own business and want to use super to build long-term wealth while managing tax.
  • You want to invest in property through a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) as part of your retirement strategy.
  • You’re planning your estate and want to ensure your super benefits are passed on in the most tax-effective way and to the right people, in line with your wishes.

FAQs

Superannuation is a long-term savings plan designed to help you fund your retirement. Contributions made by you and your employer are invested over time, and the goal is to grow this balance so you can enjoy financial security later in life, while meeting superannuation compliance requirements.

Choosing the right super fund depends on your goals, risk tolerance, and how involved you want to be in managing your super. Whether you’re considering an industry fund, a retail fund, or a self-managed super fund (SMSF), our team in Ipswich can help you review your options and make sure your fund is working for you.

You can’t buy property through a regular super fund, but it is possible through a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF), provided strict rules are followed. If you’re in Ipswich and thinking about using your super to invest in property, we can help you assess whether this strategy is right for you and fits your overall superannuation investments.

You can usually access your super when you reach your preservation age (between 55 and 60 depending on your birth year) and retire. There are also some limited circumstances where you can access it earlier, such as severe financial hardship or specific medical conditions.

As of now, your employer is required to contribute a minimum of 11.5% of your salary to your super, with this increasing to 12% from 1 July 2025. Making additional contributions—such as through salary sacrifice or personal top-ups—can help grow your super faster and strengthen your retirement savings. However, it’s important to be mindful of annual contribution caps, as exceeding them can lead to extra tax. Always check with your financial adviser to ensure your strategy stays within the limits and aligns with your overall financial goals. Our Ipswich-based team can help you create a tailored approach that fits both your budget and your retirement plan.

Your super doesn’t automatically form part of your estate, so it’s important to have a valid beneficiary nomination in place. You can choose to nominate dependants or your estate, depending on your wishes. We can guide you through your options and help ensure your super is passed on to the right people in a tax-effective way.
