Gosh.. The reality is that the high fees and low yield of "typical" commercial super mens that many Australians happily and successfully manage their own SMSFs.

I think setting up an SMSF to invest in the index s&p 500 is a set-it-and-forget-it strategy with regular dollar cost averaging is a realistic approach. Low-cost expense ratio and 8 to 10% return.

2:44 'Fund-amentally' nice pun :)

If you have $1,900,000 in your super pension phase and invested in high growth 33% Australian share 33% and international shares 34%. With $300,000 in the bank (cash ) for emergency money making 5% tax free. How much are the fees charged from your super? Compared to a S&P ASX200 ETF in SMSF? Thank you for your number?
