ESUPERFUND is a pioneer in online Self Managed Superannuation in Australia and has helped thousands of SMSF Investors establish and manage their own SMSF since the year 2006. ESUPERFUND administers all aspects of a SMSF's compliance obligations, including the SMSF's Financial Statements, Tax Return and Audit. ESUPERFUND does not provide Investment Advice to clients as our clients are largely DIY Investors who prefer to make their own Investment decisions for their SMSF, rather than pay excessive fees to Advisors.

ESUPERFUND is currently privately owned. It is not institutionally owned. ESUPERFUND only partners with other large and reputable organisations, such as Commonwealth Bank and ANZ, to provide its service at a discount to Market.

No. A common rule of thumb in the superannuation industry is that you should have $200,000 in Super Benefits prior to establishing a SMSF. Some administrators actually require you to have a minimum amount in order to commence a SMSF, usually $100,000 or more. Conveniently these same administrators charge you on a percentage basis which can add unnecessary fees to your annual invoice. There is actually no legal minimum balance to establish a SMSF. You can establish a SMSF with ESUPERFUND with any amount desired. For more visit our article "The $200,000 SMSF Myth" here.

Your Super Benefit is completely safe. All SMSF Investments including the ANZ V2 Plus Bank Account and Broker Accounts are established in the name of your SMSF. This is a very important point and gives you total peace of mind that your SMSF is the direct owner of the SMSF Investments. ESUPERFUND do not have any access to your Bank or Broker Accounts either directly or indirectly. So in the very unlikely event we cease to operate or trade or become insolvent, all your SMSF Investments are totally protected and secure because your SMSF is the direct owner of the assets. It is important to understand that only you as the Trustee for the SMSF can access your SMSF accounts.
