Principal, SMSF Strategies

Grant Abbott is Australia’s leading SMSF adviser, author and presenter. Specialising in the SMSF industry since its inception in 1994, he has presented on a wide range of topics covering all major and minor SMSF issues. He has personally trained more than 600 accountants, financial planners and lawyers to become specialist RG 146 SMSF advisers. Grant has also written four best-selling SMSF books for CCH and is completing his fifth, presented to more than 60,000 SMSF trustees and professionals, and consulted to most major and boutique finance houses in Australia.

Grant states: “Within five years, SMSF investments will tower over retail and industry-based super funds with more than $1 trillion in investments. The three big government reviews have pointed out that all SMSF stakeholders must change the way that they operate and do business and must get aggressive about achieving excellence in advice, educational standards, administration, compliance, investments and audit. For those that grow and demonstrate SMSF excellence, an estimated $10 billion of advisory fees await the key players by 2015. Hard SMSF work has its rewards!”
