In this episode of SMSF Insider, Troy breaks down two of the trickiest super structures people come across when they’re thinking about starting an SMSF: defined benefit funds and deferred benefit funds. He explains how defined benefit funds work (and why they’re so valuable), what a deferred benefit fund actually is, and the huge tax bill that can hit if you roll out of a deferred benefit fund without understanding the rules.Troy also walks through when it might still make sense to roll into an SMSF, why public sector workers need to be especially careful, and whether you should keep your existing super fund open for insurance even after you set up an SMSF.If you’ve ever worked in the public sector or think you might have one of these older-style funds, this episode is a must-listen before you move a cent.Ready to finally take control of your take control of your retirement savings and stop leaving your future in someone else’s hands?
