Borrowing to invest – pre 2007
• Prior to 2007 there were very few opportunities for funds to borrow directly.
• Indirect borrowing via trusts or companies was possible but there were a number of risks and limitations.
18
From 2007 - The legislation now provides…
• The superannuation fund is permitted to borrow
• The loan must be applied to acquire an asset that the fund can ordinarily invest in
• The asset is held in trust for the superannuation fund
• The superannuation fund has a beneficial interest in the asset
• The superannuation fund must make one or more payments to acquire the asset
• If the superannuation fund defaults on the loan the lenders right to recoup is limited to the value of the asset.
19
Borrowing to invest – Limited recourse loans
• A geared investment in a superannuation fund can be achieved via a structure known as a ‘limited recourse loan’
• A limited recourse loan can enable a fund to utilise borrowing to purchase a range of investments including direct property.
With the right advice and approach this can be a powerful way to boost your super and diversify your investment portfolio
20
Borrowing to invest - A snapshot
• You can gear with your Superannuation Fund
• Borrowing can be for any investments as allowed by SIS
• Borrowing is limited to newly acquired assets (i.e. not for currently held assets)
• You can swap geared assets
• You can only do a limited recourse loan via a Debt Instalment Trust structure
• Lenders security is limited to the asset held in the debt trust
21
Borrowing to invest
• There is no limit on the amount of the loan
• There is no restriction on who the fund can borrow from
• The loan must be on a limited-recourse basis
Remember, the SMSF is responsible for the loan repayments, so it is important to consider the fund’s
cashflow before entering into a borrowing arrangement.
22
