Clients with self-managed superannuation funds (SMSF) often ask what assets the SMSF can acquire.
The golden rule for acquiring assets inside your SMSF is why? To be compliant, your fund must be maintained for the sole purpose of
providing retirement benefits to members, or to their dependants if a member dies before retirement. The sole purpose test (section 62 of
the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993), is your starting point. If the collectible you are looking to acquire does not
fulfil this purpose, then you have an immediate problem.
Let’s assume you are looking to acquire vintage cars. The question to ask is, is the acquisition a viable investment or simply a desire of
the members to own vintage cars. Does the investment ‘stack up’ relative to other forms of investment to build/protect the retirement
savings of members?
