To set up a self-managed super fund requires a number of important decisions you must be prepared to make to give your superannuation experience not only the right start but the best prospects for success.

The decisions go beyond the practical aspects of establishing a fund. That can be ridiculously easy if someone provides you with the necessary documents that simply require signatures. These include the trust deed, which will provide you with a legal arrangement that allows investment assets to be held for the benefit of you and any other members of your super fund.
