Sharesight talks SMSFs and tech tips at ausbiz panel

by Stephanie Stefanovic, Content Manager, Sharesight | Nov 21st 2021

At an ausbiz panel for DIY investors called ‘Tech Tips to Maximise Portfolio Performance’, Sharesight CEO Doug Morris explored the benefits of harnessing technology to manage your SMSF, rather than relying on expensive bank-owned platforms. Some of the topics discussed included how investors can make the switch from platform to DIY tech stack; how SMSF investors can save thousands of dollars in management fees; and whether there are any potential risks of taking a self-directed approach to managing an SMSF.
