There is another option of investment which is called as the Self-managed super fund.

As the name suggests, these funds are managed by the members of that fund only. It means that if a few members come together and set up a super fund, the members themselves will manage the money accumulated in the fund. Investing the money, calculating the risks, assessing the tax liability and paying the taxes will all be the responsibilities of the members only. However, sometimes it is not possible for the members to manage all these things because everyone is working at their jobs and businesses. Secondly, they may not have enough knowledge of the market to understand where to invest in order to get better returns.
