Q: I am looking at opening an SMSF but I am not experienced in this area. What should I be careful of when approaching a Financial Planner (ie. questions I should ask), amid the media coverage of the Royal Commission?
I am not interested in taking on products that the Financial Planner might offer. I want financial investment advice and I also want the Financial Planner to manage the SMSF as I have compliance concerns if I were to do it, myself. Thank you in advance.
A: Thank you for your great comments and suggestions. I will shop around and ask the questions you have suggested - thank you very much James and Brendan. I also think I will need to do some study myself to understnad the key issues of compliance. I am a bit more confident now that Todd mentioned that hard to understand. I think I can now move forward a step at a time. Best wishes Julie

A: Thank you Scott, your response seems very mindful of what should be set in place around creating an SMSF. Much appreciated. Julie
