Whats got me puzzled is how he can do it at all at that level. There are strict rules about how much you can put into your smsf in a year. Under the brought forward rules, that’s 3 x 110,000 and even if it had 6 members and all of them were exercising the right, that’s a maximum of $1,980,000. 91,708,122 x.056 is millions over that. There must be something I don’t understand about the way it is set up! I guess you can do it, but you pay 47% tax on the excess contributions. Maybe it’s still worth it as then only 15% is paid on the eventual gain. Too hard!

Hi tamz, It is likely that his SF had the cash on hand to pay for the shares at MV. He has probably been successful with other investments in his fund thus the cash sitting there waiting for the right opportunity. Fairly normal in my experience. JMT
