Hello there, I'm curious about starting an SMSF with a $100,000 initial investment. I've heard that SMSFs, or Self-Managed Super Funds, can be a great way to take control of your retirement savings, but I'm not sure if the $100,000 I have is enough to get started. Do you think this amount is sufficient to establish an SMSF, or do I need to save more before I can take the plunge? I'd appreciate any insights you might have on this matter.

Although feasible, operating an SMSF with a lower balance may not be as financially rewarding as one might anticipate. The true potential of an SMSF becomes evident when the balance surpasses the $200,000 mark.

Currently, the threshold for establishing an SMSF, or Self-Managed Superannuation Fund, has been eliminated, making this type of superfund accessible to a broader spectrum of Australians.

Previously, a certain minimum balance was required to initiate an SMSF, but now, there are no such constraints.

While technically, one can set up an SMSF with a relatively modest balance, such as $100,000 to $200,000, it's crucial to understand the implications of such a decision.

Beyond this threshold, SMSFs tend to offer higher returns and greater flexibility in investment options, making them a more attractive option for those with larger savings.
