Which structure

What different balances reach

Your fund's share decides how far it stretches. A smaller share reaches a bigger property — and gives you less of it.

Before you commit. This is math, not advice. A 13.22C trust must satisfy every one of its conditions continuously — no borrowing, no charge over its assets, no interests in other entities, no business, and a three-year look-back on prior related-party ownership. One breach makes it an in-house asset permanently. Take the questions in Appendix B to an SMSF specialist before you sign anything.
