Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) laws have recently been amended to increase the maximum number of members in the fund.
A SMSF can now have up to 6 members. Previously, the laws only allowed a SMSF to have up to 4 members, which was sometimes limiting for larger families that had more than 2 children. The laws do not restrict members of a SMSF to immediate family, which may be convenient for persons wanting to pool their assets for retirement and have a higher level ...
