WT Group: property investment through self-managed super funds

WT Group is an Australian group that presents itself as an integrated structure for investing in property through a self-managed super fund (SMSF). Its offering is built around four licensed entities that cover different stages of the process, from defining the strategy to settling the purchase. The group states that it has settled over $1 billion in property and has served more than 1,200 SMSF clients, with combined experience that one section of the website puts at over 100 years and another at over 15 years.

Services for investing with superannuation

The group's activity is organised into four main areas, which can be engaged separately or together:

• SMSF Property: purchase of investment properties, including commercial, within the super fund. The group first verifies whether this route suits the client's situation and handles the establishment of the fund, the loan, the purchase and the legal formalities.
• Property Investment: buyer's agency for investors, with property sourcing, due diligence and negotiation across Australia, both on-market and off-market.
• Refinancing Loans: comparison of lenders and loan restructuring to free up cash flow or equity, for SMSF, investment and commercial lending alike.
• Financial Advice: licensed financial advice on the suitability of an SMSF, fund establishment, contribution strategy and ongoing advice.

Commercial property within the SMSF

The group has a specific line for commercial property, aimed at industrial, office and retail premises for the SMSF. According to its description, it handles the sourcing, negotiation and settlement of the transaction from start to finish, with a focus on durable, tenant-paid income.

Structure and licensed accountability

WT Group emphasises that each entity in the group holds its own AFSL, ACL or practising certificate, so that every decision is attributed to a specific entity. The financial advice management company operates under AFSL number 557079. The group presents itself as a team with its own departments that manages every detail in-house and guides the client from one stage to the next without referring them to third parties.

Client profile and stated approach

The company targets Australian individual investors who want to build wealth through property and retirement savings. It states that if an SMSF is not suitable for the client, it will say so even if that means losing the deal. Among the advantages it highlights are the concentration of advice, financing and acquisition within the same group, the specialisation of each entity and support from strategy through to settlement.
