Financial services firm, Spring FG Limited, will be offering its self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) platform members and trustees both one-off scaled advice and one-off or ongoing personal advice and recommendations.
The firm opened its mysuper247 SMSF platform to registrations on Monday ahead of its operational launch in July.

The platform aims to provide online SMSF establishment, operation and administration, and access to investment options.
"…trustees and members will be provided with Australia's most advanced suite of SMSF management and reporting tools through our integration to Class Super's powerful digital tool-set," Cullen said.
"mysuper247 members will also benefit from access to Australia's most comprehensive library of financial education and training resources including our seven-part SMSF trustee training program."
