In this example the Investment Property within a SMSF produces $273,000 more than the Balanced super fund; this is a 60% better outcome at retirement.

  • At 3% growth (= CPI) the property is worth $623,187
      • $173,000 more = 38% better outcome at retirement
  • At 5% growth (recent historical average) the property is worth $831,571.
      • $380,000 more = 85% better outcome at retirement

* A minimum combined superannuation balance of $220,000 is required.
