Oldies Know a Good Thing When They See An SMSF

Based upon SMSF returns received by the ATO, slightly more than 50% of SMSF members are aged 55 or more, while only 6% of SMSF members are aged under 35.

This is not surprising.  SMSFs are particularly good vehicles to provide both control and tax features for investors in their prime accumulation phase (roughly 45-65 age group) and for investors in the drawdown phase (65 and onwards).
