Your SMSF team: Super Strategists

Assetora has partnered with Super Strategists to guide our Members through SMSF establishment and provide ongoing accounting and administration — from the first conversation onwards.

You engage Super Strategists directly for SMSF establishment and the ongoing services you agree to. Their fees are explained before you proceed and confirmed in writing.

These services are separate from your Assetora account and investment arrangements.

Assetora does not provide SMSF accounting, audit or financial planning services. We provide the investment vehicle through our Assetora Sub Fund (ASF) structure.

Once your SMSF is established, you can apply to invest in available ASFs. Each investment is a separate decision and application.

What ongoing support does Super Strategists provide?

The team will explain your ongoing service arrangements before you proceed.
Do I need an SMSF to invest through Assetora?
No. Assetora is available to eligible investors using a range of investment structures. An SMSF is one option, but whether it suits you depends on your circumstances, objectives, costs and willingness to take on trustee responsibilities.
I already have an SMSF. Do I need to establish another?
No. Super Strategists can assist with transferring the accounting and administration of your existing SMSF from your current provider. There is no need to establish a new fund. The team will explain the services and fees, coordinate the handover of records and guide you through the transition.
Can I roll over my existing super into my new SMSF?
Yes. Once your SMSF's registrations and accounts are ready, Super Strategists can help coordinate the rollover of eligible super from your existing fund, guiding you through the paperwork and requirements. Before proceeding, consider any insurance cover, benefits or entitlements that could be affected by transferring your balance or closing your existing account.

What is Assetora's role in this process?

No. Establishing your SMSF and selecting investments are separate decisions. Each Assetora investment requires a separate application and consideration of the relevant offer documents, fees and risks, together with your fund's investment strategy.
Who is responsible for managing my SMSF?
As a trustee, or director of the corporate trustee, you remain responsible for your SMSF's decisions and obligations. Super Strategists provides professional support within your agreed engagement, but this does not remove your trustee responsibilities.
