You can start your research into SMSF by finding out who hosts the front end and back end portals.
This is important if they are outsourcing the back end, it is a risk to you if they only accept online trading.
Ask if they trade online only or do they accept phone orders if the online portals have errors.
Also ask your current broker if they have SMSF, some do if they are part of a larger group.
The best cost for ASX300 SMSF is $19.95 minimum per trade and about $15 a month + whatever they charge for your super fund.
Though will you be happy with a change, transfer fees, 1-2 weeks setup?
All things and more to think about before you switch, of course ask as there isn't any dumb questions when it comes to your own best interests.
