Managed accounts
Unlock new efficiencies and wider investment choice, and change your client conversations from administration to strategy.
Client benefits of managed accounts
“SMAs allowed us to direct more time to delivering client value.”
Cost efficient
Like managed funds, managed accounts can offer lower management, custody and execution costs than retail broking fees.
Responsive
Managed accounts offer the advantages of dynamic asset allocation, allowing investment managers to move in and out of asset classes quickly to take advantage of emerging opportunities and manage risk.
Transparent
You and your clients can view the underlying securities held. In changing markets, you can track the performance of individual holdings.
Tax efficient
Managed accounts can provide tax benefits as the tax positions for direct equities are the client's own. Portability of underlying holdings can also help manage any tax implications.

Build an SMA
Build an SMA
If your firm has investment management capability backed by a robust strategy, set of controls and methodologies, you may be able to build and/or bring your own SMA to our platform.
Why choose this option?
You can use your own Responsible Entity (RE) structure, or appoint Macquarie as the RE, and keep full control of the investment solution and maintain greater flexibility in determining your investment decisions.
Partnered SMA
Partnered SMA
Jointly manage your SMA model by sharing the responsibility with an experienced and qualified partner. For example, you can work alongside an external investment provider who sets the investment strategy and decisions.
Why choose this option?
You may have some, but not all, of the capability to build your own SMA. This is a good option where you can hold onto some of the responsibilities and leave the rest to a specialist team who are experts in the field.
