DIY Super For Dummies (Wiley, $39.95) is a plain-English and practical resource for anyone running their own fund, or considering running their own fund. DIY super is a specialist area within the super sector because it is a microcosm of the entire sector — involving fund administration, compliance, investment management, tax management and retirement planning. Running your own fund can be an exhilarating ride but the twists and turns that you encounter along the way — for example, the Global Financial Crisis during 2008 and 2009 — can sometimes be a challenge. DIY Super For Dummies can help you run your DIY super fund, or help you decide whether a DIY super fund is suitable for you. And if it is, this book can then take you through the steps you need to take to set up a DIY super fund, how to run a DIY super fund, what you need to do to pay a super pension from your fund, the costs of running a DIY super fund, and where to go for help. Investing your super monies is a big deal, too. |
| DIY Super For Dummies is a product of the most common questions and answers that Trish Power has been asked about DIY super, reinforced by a plain-English explanation of the super rules applying to DIY super funds. This book is a stand-alone resource covering everything (nearly!) you need to know about running your own fund, written specifically for DIY super fund trustees, or prospective trustees. This book does not duplicate what Trish covers in her book Superannuation For Dummies (2nd edition), which is a comprehensive general reference on super, and is mentioned in DIY Super For Dummies as a second source for those who wish to delve into a general super topic in more detail, such as insurance, or the implications of divorce, or the affect of your super benefits on your Age Pension entitlements.
