SMSFs in Australia

Over half a million Australians have already taken control of their super.

Self-managed super funds are now one of the largest segments of the Australian retirement system — and they're growing every quarter. If you're still in a default industry or retail fund, you may be missing out on the control, transparency and investment choice that more than a million Australians already enjoy.

How SMSF setup works

From enquiry to documents submitted — clear steps, no guesswork.

Here's exactly what happens after you reach out, so you know what to expect at every stage of establishing your fund.

  1. 01

    Online application

    Complete our secure online setup form with member, trustee and contact details. Takes about 10 minutes.

  2. 02

    Identity & review

    We verify identification, prepare your trust deed and SMSF setup pack, and review everything before sending to you.

  3. 03

    Documents submitted

    You e-sign — we lodge with the ATO and ASIC and submit your bank and share trading account applications.

  4. 04

    Start investing your super

    Once your SMSF is registered and your bank and share trading accounts are open, roll over your super and start investing.

Expected turnaround

How long each stage typically takes

Indicative timeframes from the moment you enquire through to your SMSF being fully ready to invest. Most funds are operational within 7 to 10 business days.

  1. Online application & documents prepared

    Complete our easySMSF setup wizard which will guide you through the information we require to get started. Your documents are also prepared the same business day, ready to e-sign.

    Same business day
  2. Lodging with ATO & ASIC

    After signing, we lodge ASIC for your corporate trustee and apply for ABN/TFN with the ATO. ATO timeframes can vary.

    1–2 business days
  3. Bank & share trading account setup

    Once the ATO issues your ABN, we submit your SMSF cash and share trading account applications. Funds can be rolled over once accounts are open.

    1–2 business days
Timeframes are indicative and depend on ATO processing, identification checks and bank onboarding times. We keep you updated at every stage.
What your SMSF can invest in

Trade Australian and US shares — plus ETFs, options and more.

Your SMSF share trading account is set up with Bell Direct, an ASX participant broker. That means your fund can invest in the full ASX market as well as US-listed shares, all from a single SMSF-compliant trading account.

ASX listed shares

Buy and sell shares in any company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.

US shares

Trade US-listed equities on NYSE and NASDAQ directly from your SMSF account.

ETFs

Diversify across Australian and global market sectors with exchange traded funds.

Options & warrants

Exchange traded options (ETOs) and warrants for more advanced strategies.

Interest rate securities

Listed bonds and hybrids that pay regular income to your fund.

IPOs & mFunds

Participate in initial public offers and access managed funds via the ASX mFund service.

Beyond listed investments, your SMSF can also hold cash and term deposits, direct property, precious metals and other allowable assets — provided they fit your fund's documented investment strategy and meet the sole purpose test. We'll keep the compliance side covered while you choose the investments.

Bell Direct is mentioned as the share trading account provider we typically establish for new SMSFs. We don't receive commissions or referral fees — you're free to use a different broker if you prefer.

Beware of "free" offers

"Free setup" and "first year free" usually aren't free.

When a competitor offers free SMSF establishment or a complimentary first year of administration, the cost doesn't disappear — it gets shifted somewhere you can't see. Most of these providers earn commissions, kickbacks or referral fees from the investment products, insurance and lending they channel you into. The disclosures are buried in the Product Disclosure Statement, not on the landing page.

Commissions on managed funds and platform products
Trail fees on insurance recommended through the fund
Referral payments from preferred brokers and lenders
Margin on bundled "in-house" investment options

The easySMSF promise

We charge one transparent fixed fee. We accept $0 in commissions, kickbacks or referral fees from any product provider — so the only thing influencing our advice is what's right for your fund.

100% autonomy — no lock-ins

Your SMSF, your portfolio. Not your administrator's.

When an SMSF platform offers ultra-low fees, they have to make their money somewhere else. Usually, that means forcing you into their ecosystem — locking you into their trading app where they take a cut of high brokerage, parking your capital in low-interest cash accounts, or blocking you from buying residential or commercial property entirely.

You didn't start a Self-Managed Super Fund to be told what you can and can't manage. We are your compliance partners, not your investment managers.

Other "low fee" SMSFs
  • Forced into their in-house trading app
  • Percentage commission on every trade
  • Capital parked in low-yielding cash accounts
  • Restrictions on direct property or LRBA
easySMSF
  • Choose your own broker — we take $0 commission
  • Choose your own cash account — we take $0 margin
  • Residential, commercial and LRBA property allowed
  • Compliance partners — not investment managers

A $0 setup SMSF sounds great — until you realise you're forced into an ecosystem with high trading fees and terrible cash account rates. You started an SMSF to break free from retail fund limitations, so why get locked into a new cage? easySMSF offers open, transparent administration for a fixed monthly fee. Absolute control.
