Getting a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) gives you full control of your retirement and the investment of your Superannuation. You may refer to our guide on how to set-up your SMSF and the different types of it so you will know what will suit your needs.
Moreover, you may compare the SMSF account that you may open which has an included insurance. Simply click the ‘Go to site’ button to get in touch with the provider and to submit your application online. Please ensure you review the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you. You can also contact the provider if you have specific questions.
I hope this helps.
