How does ESUPERFUND work?

ESUPERFUND differs from traditional super funds because instead of managing your super balance for you it helps you set up your own self-managed super fund (SMSF). To facilitate the setup, ESUPERFUND applies for an ABN and TFN and can help create a transaction account and a share trading account through its banking partners. It then meets the annual compliance requirements for your SMSF. You can invest your super from a range of allowable investment options such as term deposits, ETFs and property.
