It examines the steps required to realise each of the opportunities explored using examples and case studies and explores complex strategies that can be utilised by an SMSF at various stages of its lifecycle. Individuals conduct an in-depth analysis of the sophisticated financial instruments available and how they can assist with achieving SMSF fund goals and objectives.
