Self Managed Super Fund

More and more Australians are opting for a Self-managed Super Fund (SMSF) to have greater control and diversification in what they can invest their retirement funds in, such as precious metals. Investments that might not be possible with a typical industry superannuation fund.

Imperial Bullion helps this growing number of Australians to purchase precious metals for their SMSF as they are allowable assets within an SMSF. A superannuation fund that is diversified with assets not correlated with each other is one of balance gives peace of mind. That is why many SMSF investors believe that holding physical bullion as a percentage of their overall investment portfolio is one avenue that provides balance, diversification and asset protection.

Silver bullion and gold bullion can be purchased in all shapes and size providing you with liquid assets that you can sell as you need in smaller amounts. Other larger hard assets or property do not provide this important flexibility within the portfolio.
