Susan and David
Investing with your Self Managed Super Fund
Susan and David are in their 50’s and are planning to retire in the next ten years; they want to know they will have all the options their current income provides them, but with consideration to the economic conditions.
After discussing their needs with their financial adviser and accountant, David and Susan set up a Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF).
David has long been a believer in precious metals investing so they are considering the benefits of gold in their SMSF portfolio.

We witnessed what can happen to your savings through the GFC and are extremely nervous about the state on the economy. Gold is a great hedge to the stock market and historically performs best when interest rates are low. We know it’s not going to be wiped out overnight and we can liquidate quickly if we need cash – that’s why our SMSF will be holding gold.

Returns
The gold price had a strong performance in 2016, rising close to 10% in US dollar terms (higher in most other currencies) and amassing multi-year record inflows through physically-backed gold ETFs – making it one of the best performing assets last year, despite a post-US election pullback. And the price has gained more than 5% since the Federal Reserve (Fed) increased rates in mid-December.
