I am in my mid-40s and currently have almost $200k in super.

I have a mortgage with around $300k left at 5.8%.

Over the past 5 years, my super fund has not increased any more than the deposits my employer makes to it.

I am wondering whether I can start a self-managed super fund and put the money on my mortgage offset account to reduce the interest I am paying. My initial calculations say that I will save a significant amount of interest and reduce my loan term.

I understand there are setup costs and administration etc, but just wondering if this is something I can feasibly do?


Thanks

Hi,


Unfortunately no.


There are a quite number of rules that prevent this. In particular, Section 65 of the SIS act prevents your SMSF from providing you with any form of financial assistance.(Including a loan)
