Self-managed super funds can offer you a path to higher returns, but that path comes with increased risks. Partner with Liston Newton, and our Gold Coast advisors can design a bespoke SMSF investment strategy with strong yields and mitigated risks.

Secure your retirement with trusted Gold Coast SMSF advisors
Talk to usHigh-return, risk-managed advisory for SMSF trustees
As you surely know, it’s never too early to prepare for retirement. Self-managing your super fund allows you to do just that by giving you total control over its investments. Having that control isn’t purely about maximising returns; you can also make ethical decisions about your investments or borrow against your fund for immediate investment opportunities.
Whatever you choose to use your super fund for, it would be extremely prudent to have an experienced SMSF accountant on hand to forecast your decisions. The true benefit of partnering with Liston Newton’s Gold Coast advisors is the peace of mind we offer.

Giving back as best we can
The best way anyone can support their community is to follow their passions, find out what makes them tick, and use their unique talents to give back. That’s what we’ve done. We donate our financial resources and expertise to several local and national charities. These include:
- The Type 1 Foundation, since diabetes has touched the Liston Family
- The Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Tea
- The Cancer Council’s Small Business Advisory Service
We’ve chosen those charities because they’re particularly close to our hearts. But we aren’t the only Liston Newton office. We have teams across Australia, and each one gives back to their local communities in their own unique way.
Frequently asked questions
What is a self-managed superannuation fund?
A self-managed super fund (or DIY fund) is a trust managed by the fund’s trustees rather than by a third party.
SMSFs allow trustees absolute control over its investment structure, as well as over how its returns are distributed amongst the trustees.
Should I have an SMSF?
Starting an SMSF can be an excellent wealth-generating strategy for:
- High-income earners
- Business owners
- Financially-savvy individuals
While well-managed SMSFs can yield extraordinary returns, it can be a laborious and time-consuming process. You’ll also have to consider the monetary investments, which include:
- Set-up costs
- Ongoing costs
- Wind-up costs
- Insurance costs
- Having a cost-effective super balance
Having an SMSF can be a good idea, but it’s best also to have an experienced advisor to help you manage it.
Can I use my SMSF earnings to purchase assets?
Yes, you can use capital from your SMSF to purchase investments. However, there are strict regulations around these kinds of investments, which are limited to:
- Residential and commercial property
- Shares
- Managed funds
To protect yourself against these regulations, seek counsel from the SMSF expert, like Liston Newton’s Gold Coast specialists.

We support future-focused human intelligence over tech
Every day, the news cycle brings countless new claims about how ‘artificial intelligence’ will revolutionise society, from the way we relax to the way we work. Businesses across Australia, even the world, are not only expecting but celebrating their chance to hoist their operations and responsibilities onto AI tools. Few of them understand the technology beyond the hype-laden blather of those with financial investments in the tech.
Liston Newton still values the creative and strategic capabilities of the human intellect. AI can be an excellent tool for boosting productivity, but it cannot deliver the reliable and future-focused strategies our clients expect from us. That’s why everything we offer, from our personalised strategies to this very page, is planned, researched and written by human beings.
