What is a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) superannuation fund?
Do-It-Yourself superannuation fund is an informal name for a Self-Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF). Self-Managed Super Fund is a superannuation fund that is regulated by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and all members of the fund must be trustees of the fund. There are exceptions to this rule, such as, a member who is a minor, or, one who is under legal disability. In such cases, regulatory provisions state that a member of the SMSF cannot be the trustee of the fund.
