No minimum mate. People just say $150k minimum because of the so called "compliance costs" of smsf. I think the industry and retail funds peddle the compliance costs line because they don't want people managing their own super. Granted, it is hard to beat Australian Super balanced fund which averages about 9% a year. If I do make good money on Tesserent through my SMSF I'm tempted to close the account and give it back to Australian Super. Happy with a 9% compounded return. Not confident I can pick another Tesserent!!! Lots of dogs on the ASX. My accountant set up a bare bones SMSF with me and wife as trustee (not a company trustee) and reckons compliance costs under $1500, which can be paid by SMSF cash account. So it doesn't really cost me anything, comes out of my super money. Plus any capital gains within super taxed at 15% rather than marginal tax rate for my personal holding. My previous financial advisor was getting 1% on my super (not even matching industry super 7%). "The market was down" they would say. Hey the market goes up and down. How did Australian Super get 8%? They also had my super in about 15 mutual funds each with multiple stocks - the thing was that over diversified I had no chance of beating the averages. None. My position on financial advisor for super is simple - If you can't match an industry super fund return over a reasonable period of time (say 2 years) you are adding no value. I decided that Mr OB can be the financial adviser for his own super. It goes without saying I don't regret self managing my super and putting it into Tesserent. The "compliance costs" are more than covered by my Tesserent profit (touch wood and fingers and toes crossed).

" If I do make good money on Tesserent through my SMSF I'm tempted to close the account and give it back to Australian Super." I can tell you what's going to happen here. TNT will get acquired in 2 years or less ( i think less) and you will cash in big. Then when you go back to Australian Super (who are heavily invested with BGH), CyberCX will be about ready to sell a year later, and you will get your gains there too.
