Self-managed superannuation funds: A statistical overview 2008-09

T able 19: Average operating expense ratios to assets by SMSF fund size

This table illustrates average SMSF operating expense ratios by fund size. The operating expenses of an SMSF are calculated using various deduction labels from its income tax return. The total is then compared to its average assets to get a ratio of expenses to assets.

These figures are estimates based on SMSF income tax and regulatory return form data.
