The renowned SMSF advisor Port Macquarie locals trust
The benefits of having a super are clear. Still, many of our clients often find their funds fail to offer them the returns or services they need. If you feel the same way, self-managed super funds (SMSFs) may be the solution. SMSFs allow you total control over the fund’s structure, letting you choose investments by risk/reward level or their ethics. But the increased risk and the nuanced rules and regulations governing them make managing an SMSF quite challenging.
Liston Newton’s award-winning SMSF accountants in Port Macquarie have been helping locals plan financially secure futures for decades. We can help you start a new SMSF or manage your existing one to mitigate risks while improving your financial situation. Come down to our William Street offices for a consultation, or let us know if a virtual meeting would suit you better, and we’ll talk you through our process.

Self-managed super fund services available in Port Macquarie
Liston Newton are far more than just an SMSF advisor. We can assist you in improving every facet of your financial well-being. After our initial consultation, we will draw up a personalised financial plan utilising the services best suited to your needs.
Liston Newton helped us move our accounting over to Xero. Their Accountant managed the set up and training so we felt comfortable with the software. We now have all our processes streamlined which gives us improved visibility of our business performance. This has allowed us to open 2 more stores without a significant increase in administration effort.

Let us craft an SMSF investment strategy that works for you
Talk to usHigh-yield, low-risk, ethical — learn what your SMSF can do
We’ve found our clients gravitate towards SMSFs because of the control they offer. While your standard super fund is designed to deliver reliable results, you can adapt your self-managed fund to suit your stage of life or changing needs. As a young professional, you may want a high-risk, high-reward investment, but if you’re facing retirement, you’ll likely feel a little more averse to the risk.
Whatever your goals, you will benefit from measured advice from an experienced financial expert. That’s our job. As your fund’s authorised representative, we can manage it to mitigate risks and ensure it’s always working towards your goals.

Frequently asked questions
What is a self-managed super fund?
Also known as a DIY fund, an SMSF is a fund managed directly by the SMSF trustees rather than a third party. The trustees have total control over their investment options and can invest in various asset classes, including term deposits, high-interest cash accounts and unlisted assets.
Liston Newton offers self-managed superannuation fund administration services to help trustees better manage their funds. Get in touch with our Port Macquarie team for more information.
Is an SMSF right for me?
SMSFs are ideal for financially savvy individuals, such as high-income earners and business owners. This is because they can come with quite a few associated costs:
- Set-up costs
- Ongoing costs
- Wind-up costs
- Insurance costs
- Having a cost-effective super balance
If you’d like to learn more about SMSFs, book a consultation with our Port Macquarie team.
What kind of assets can I purchase with my SMSF fund?
You can purchase several types of assets with your SMSF fund, including:
- Residential and commercial property
- Bonds
- Exchange-traded funds
- Gold and cryptocurrency
- Australian & international shares
- Managed funds
However, there are strict rules and regulations around such purchases, and we recommend seeking the counsel of an experienced advisor before making any investment decisions.

About our content authors
AI tools are content generators, not genies
This page was written by humans. There was a time when that would’ve been a given. Recent advancements in AI tools have led countless tech evangelists and business owners to proclaim the tech can now do anything a human can. More specifically, that AI is ‘intelligent’ enough to meet and exceed the capabilities of specialists. It is not.
AI tools are trained on dated data sets and absorb their inherent biases, dated facts, fudged truths and flaws. They remix and regurgitate this information with no ability to tailor it to specific clients or to plan contingencies.
At Liston Newton, we deliver what our clients deserve: specific, personalised and agile financial strategies. We’ll admit to using AI as a tool, but it is still no match for the human intellect.
