Small APRA fund (SAF)

A small APRA fund (SAF) is a personal superannuation solution with a professional trustee.

A SAF offers a tailored personal superannuation solution without the associated trustee responsibilities and risk of compliance breaches. Instead, compliance obligations are passed on to a professional trustee.

Because a SAF has a professional trustee, it can be a particularly useful tool for:

  • anyone who wants greater control of their super investments but without the trustee responsibilities
  • elderly people who are concerned about losing capacity
  • a disqualified person (who can be a member of a SAF but not an SMSF)
  • those moving or living overseas who can no longer be a trustee of an SMSF.
