About this site
This is a blog (weblog) website aimed at supporting the Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) Trustee and Retail Stock Investor community. You will find:
- A repository of useful articles for those planning to start a SMSF and those trustees who are currently running their own funds. The articles are aimed to help you with all aspects of starting and running your own SMSF with a special focus on investment strategies to help you protect and grow the assets in your SMSF (we leave the details on tax and compliance to your accountant).
- Various free and affordable educational resources on investing and fund management for SMSF Trustees with a limited budget (like us) to help you improve your investment returns
- Fresh content is added regularly including articles dealing with current hot topics like the global financial crisis, how to protect your stocks in a bear market, and how to increase your income from your stock portfolio even when the dividends get reduced, as well as news and information on the Self Managed Super Fund sector of the Superannuation Industry.
About SLI Superannuation Fund
Content on this blog is produced by Kingsley and Christina McDonald, the trustees of SLI Superannuation Fund (SLI Super), one of the growing number of Self Managed Superannuation Funds (or SMSF) in Australia. SLI is an abbreviation for Strategic Life Investments. We started our own SMSF because we wanted more control and visibility of our own super investments. Neither of us are financial professionals but both have taken the time to get ourselves financially educated. In 2005, Christina took a year off work to learn about stocks and options and is currently the Chief Investment Officer for the fund. In 2011 Christina completed her Diploma of Financial Services (Financial Planning) and has started her own financial consultancy and options training business. Kingsley still works full-time in the IT industry and his main role is to keep the new super contributions coming in.
Since the fund’s inception in March 2007, SLI Super has been through some of the toughest years in the stock market and has managed to generate better returns than most of the professionally managed Super funds. We believe in investing using strategies that we understand and are comfortable with. We mainly invest in the US and Australian equity markets and use exchange traded options to protect our stocks and to generate additional income. We also plan to invest in property in the future.
