Welcome to SMSF WORKS - Self Managed Super Fund Specialists

Self Managed Super Fund Specialists For over a decade Self Managed Super Funds (SMSF’s) have been the fastest growing sector of superannuation. The number of funds in operation has grown from less than 100,000 in 1994 to well in excess of 300,000 in 2007.

SMSF’s, otherwise known as DIY super funds offer a level of control and flexibility that cannot be matched by traditional superannuation alternatives.

Self managed super funds have many advantages for investors compared to using a traditional institutionally managed superannuation fund.
