It is becoming mainstream knowledge that superannuation funds can borrow under certain circumstances.  However, what is less known is that the relevant legislation does not stipulate where the money can be borrowed from.  As a consequence it is possible for a superannuation fund member or their relative etc to lend money to their fund.  This is particularly effective for acquiring assets that banks are not generally willing to lend for such as equities (shares) and/or if the superannuation fund wants to obtain cheaper funding.
