Dear %%first_name%%,

It’s hard to listen to what’s going on in Europe and not feel down in the dumps, but as DIY super fund investors, we’ve got time to ride out this storm. The market is overly focused on the short term, but as I talk about today, we shouldn’t be.

My view is shared by Charlie Aitken, who in today’s Switzer Super Report points to a basket of 19 small-cap stocks that have been battered by the uncertainty but stand to lead the market higher as confidence returns. Plus, we highlight the commodity ETFs available in Australia, run over when an SMSF trustee can and can’t be paid for services, and give you tips on buying property in a beleaguered market like the US. It’s an interesting mix of advice and I hope you enjoy it!



Sincerely,

Peter Switzer

Many SMSFs run into problems when defining beneficiaries, meaning that after the death of a trustee, benefits may be distributed in a way contrary to their wishes. To find out how you should define your beneficiaries, read How to define beneficiaries and Super polygamy: how to have multiple spouses.
