Located in the prestigious Louis Vuitton building at 180 Queen Street (level 4), Brisbane Gold Brokers gives SMSF trustees throughout Brisbane and Australia secure access to the national Gold Brokers network.

Why Add Gold & Silver to Your SMSF Portfolio?

Stronger Portfolio Diversification
A well-balanced SMSF portfolio should protect retirement savings from market volatility. Gold and silver have historically moved independently from shares and bonds, helping to stabilise performance over the long term. By including physical bullion or pool unallocated metals, Brisbane investors can add resilience and long-term security to their superannuation strategy.
Protection Against Inflation
While currencies and cash deposits lose value over time, precious metals have consistently preserved purchasing power. Allocating part of your SMSF to gold or silver helps safeguard wealth against inflation and currency devaluation, ensuring your savings maintain real-world value well into retirement.
Security in Times of Uncertainty
During economic downturns or market instability, gold and silver historically perform strongly as safe-haven assets. Holding bullion through your SMSF provides both liquidity and peace of mind when other asset classes may be under stress - a proven strategy for long-term financial stability.
Direct Ownership & Transparency
With physical bullion, you maintain full ownership of a tangible asset - securely stored in SMSF-compliant vaults. Prefer a flexible option? Pool unallocated holdings give you exposure to live metal prices without storage fees, perfect for investors seeking liquidity and simplicity. Both methods provide transparency, control, and complete independence from financial institutions.
Local Expertise & Trusted Support
As part of the Gold Brokers Group, Brisbane Gold Brokers combines national expertise with local service. Our gold dealer team at helps SMSF trustees across Brisbane structure their gold and silver investments efficiently, compliantly, and with complete confidence.

SMSF Compliance & Regulations

SMSF trustees must ensure that all investment decisions comply with Australian superannuation laws and ATO guidelines. When purchasing bullion through Brisbane Gold Brokers, every transaction and storage arrangement is designed to meet these strict regulatory requirements. Below are key points to consider when holding precious metals within your SMSF:

Sole Purpose Test
Your SMSF must exist solely to provide retirement benefits to its members. Gold and silver investments — whether physical bullion or pool unallocated holdings — can satisfy this test when correctly structured and held in accordance with ATO guidelines.
Valuation & Record Keeping
SMSFs are required to record all bullion investments at market value and maintain full documentation. This includes purchase invoices, storage confirmations, audit statements, and valuation records. Brisbane Gold Brokers provides detailed transaction receipts and portfolio reports to help trustees remain compliant and audit-ready year-round.
Independent, Secure Storage
SMSF-owned bullion must not be kept at a private residence. To remain compliant, all metals should be stored in an independent, professionally managed facility under your fund’s name. Brisbane Gold Brokers offers allocated storage and pool unallocated options that are fully insured, SMSF-compliant, and backed by the Gold Brokers Group network.
Transparency & Audit Support
All SMSF holdings can be viewed securely via your online Gold Broker Portfolio, providing real-time tracking of purchases, storage balances, and current valuations. These records can be easily downloaded or shared with your accountant or SMSF auditor for reporting purposes.

Located in the Louis Vuitton building at 180 Queen Street (Level 4), Brisbane Gold Brokers ensures every SMSF investment is handled with precision, compliance, and transparency - giving trustees across Brisbane and Queensland complete peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! You can purchase gold, silver, and platinum bullion through your Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF), provided the investment complies with your fund's trust deed and the relevant superannuation legislation. Investment-grade bullion is a popular SMSF asset as it can help diversify a retirement portfolio and provide exposure to physical precious metals.

We can assist with purchases for SMSFs and provide a tax invoice and supporting documentation for your records. If you choose our Secure Storage service, your bullion can be stored in our fully insured vault facilities, helping your fund meet its storage and record-keeping requirements.

If you're unsure about the requirements for your SMSF, we recommend speaking with your accountant or financial adviser before making a purchase.

Physical investment-grade bullion held within an SMSF is generally taxed under the same rules as other SMSF investments. Any capital gains or profits from the sale of bullion are typically taxed at the SMSF's concessional tax rates, which may be significantly lower than personal tax rates. If the bullion is held for more than 12 months, the fund may also be eligible for a capital gains tax (CGT) discount. In retirement phase, earnings and capital gains may be tax-free, depending on the fund's circumstances and current superannuation laws.

As every SMSF is different, we recommend speaking with your accountant or licensed financial adviser to understand how the tax rules apply to your fund before investing.

Yes, it may be possible for an SMSF to store investment-grade bullion at home, but strict rules apply. The bullion must remain an asset of the SMSF at all times and cannot be used for personal enjoyment or provide any current-day benefit to members. Trustees must also be able to demonstrate that the storage arrangement complies with the fund's investment strategy, is properly documented, and satisfies all record-keeping and audit requirements.

Many SMSF trustees choose professional secure vault storage because it provides independent custody, insurance, and clear audit records. We offer fully insured secure storage, making it easy to manage your bullion while helping maintain accurate records for your SMSF.

As storage requirements vary depending on your fund's circumstances, we recommend speaking with your accountant or SMSF adviser before deciding where to store your bullion.

Yes. For secure storage clients, in-person viewings can be arranged by appointment only with 2 business days notice. Our secure vault facilities in both Brisbane and on the Gold Coast allow SMSF trustees to physically verify their holdings via a transfer to the store appointed. All inspections are conducted under supervision to maintain compliance, confidentiality, and security.

Your SMSF bullion remains fully insured and safely stored under your fund’s name, no matter where you relocate. As part of the Gold Brokers Group network, we can move your securely stored bullion to different vaults in our storage network across Australia.

Yes. Investment-grade bullion that meets the purity thresholds set by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) — 99.5% for gold, 99.9% for silver, and 99% for platinum — is GST-exempt. All bullion sold through Brisbane Gold Brokers complies with these standards, ensuring your SMSF remains fully tax-compliant. This does not include coins Krugerrands, Sovereigns, 1966 50c Silver Rounds and $200 Gold Coins due to their purity being below investment-grade bullion standards.

No. Under the ATO’s Sole Purpose Test, all SMSF bullion must be held exclusively for the purpose of providing retirement benefits to members. Using bullion as collateral, security, or for any personal or business benefit breaches superannuation law and may result in penalties for the fund’s trustees.
