Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSF) now represent one third of Australia’s $1.5 trillion superannuation pool (source www.spa.asn.au).  Managing a SMSF however, can be onerous with all the administration and compliance duties that must be conducted, as well as keeping up-to-date with ever changing superannuation legislation. This is where Ballast steps in as a SMSF administrator.

Ballast handles all the important administrative duties and important compliance matters. All funds administered by Ballast are reviewed half yearly, and recommendations are given on new and existing investments based on a clients risk profile.

Ballast SMSF clients are provided with superior online consolidation portfolio accounts where they are able to access details including cash flow and portfolio capital growth components as well as overnight balances on investments.
