Internal transfer of Separately Managed Accounts (SMA) assets

SMA transfers are available in the following:

• IDPS to IDPS
• IDPS to Super or Pension
• Super to Pension
• Pension to Super
• Pension to IDPS
• Super to IDPS.

SMA transfers are not available in the following:

• Any product to or from Consolidator Engage.

Things you should know before you get started:

• The assets must be available on the applicable Investment Menu to be held on platform
• If the assets you are seeking to transfer into the SMA are not consistent with the SMA Model Portfolio(s) weightings, those assets will be sold to re-align with the target weightings
• Any assets you have selected to partially transfer out of the SMA may be subsequently repurchased. This will occur as part of the ongoing SMA rebalancing
• All transfers into or out of fund superannuation accounts will occur as a change of beneficial ownership (CBO) transfer and will trigger a CGT event. This is because the beneficial owner of the account is the superannuation plan, not the member (e.g. super to IDPS and IDPS to super or pension)
• Transfers count towards the applicable contribution cap(s) and are subject to superannuation rules as outlined in the taxation and superannuation law
• The client’s Tax File Number (TFN) must be provided before we are able to accept any personal contributions into their super account
• For pension accounts, please ensure you don't exceed the transfer balance cap. Pension starting values are calculated after all assets, rollovers and/or contributions are received, and may differ to the initial transfer value due to market movement
• Where in-specie transferring assets out of a SMA, please ensure the minimum SMA holding requirement is maintained
• If transferring out all assets and closing your SMA, all assets must be available on the applicable investment menu. If the asset isn’t accepted on the applicable menu, it will be redeemed and the proceeds will be transferred to the destination account.
