There are many restrictions to moving investments out of an SMSF and it is often a pain point for trustees and advisers. For example, we were recently asked, "Can investments be transferred, rather than cash, in satisfaction of a benefit?"
In this episode Jess speaks with SMSF expert, Graeme Colley, to answer this and look at what it means to satisfy super benefit requirements and the intricacies of doing so.
