*Please note: When purchasing a new managed investment or Separately Managed Account (SMA) for a retail client, you'll need to answer questions relating to our regulatory obligations. You’ll also need to confirm whether the account holder(s) have received personal advice before proceeding with this transaction. If personal advice hasn't been provided, you’ll need to confirm that the distribution conduct is consistent with the product’s Target Market Determination(s) (TMDs). If neither of these conditions are met, the transaction won't be able to proceed on a retail account.

How do I place a trade to use available cash?

If you want your buy orders to use your available cash rather than the funds from sells, place your buy and sell orders as separate transactions. This involves placing either the buy or sell, authorising the transaction, then placing the other buy or sell in the following transaction.

Does my client need to confirm each trade I place?

Your client(s) won’t need to approve trades placed on their account. However, please ensure you have the appropriate authorisation from your client(s) before placing these orders, including any implications (e.g. CGT, fees etc.) that will apply once the orders have settled.

What are the different authorisation levels for wrap users?

How do I authorise a trade generated in Wrap Online?

To trade on clients’ accounts, an adviser with Transact access will need to authorise the trade. They can do this by providing their Macquarie ID and password.

  1. Log in to Adviser Online
  2. Select Transacting on the Adviser Online menu beneath the Macquarie icon, then select Work in progress
  3. Select View orders
  4. Search for the trade by either:
    • searching the account by name or number in the search bar, or
    • searching by Adviser, Product, Order source, or trade Status dropdown menus.
  5.  Select the order ID
  6. Confirm the order details and the client declaration is correct. If they aren’t, you can amend them by selecting Edit orders.
    • When purchasing a new managed investment or Separately Managed Account (SMA) for a retail client, you'll be required to answer questions relating to design and distribution obligations, asking you to confirm whether personal advice been provided before recommending that the account holder(s) proceed with the new transaction
    • If personal advice hasn't been provided, you’ll be required to confirm that the distribution conduct is consistent with the product’s Target Market Determination(s) (TMDs).
  7. Enter your Macquarie ID and password then select Authorise orders.

Once you’ve authorised the order, the status of the order in the Work in progress – orders page should update.

Where personal advice hasn't been provided and the distribution conduct isn't within the TMD, the transaction won't be able to proceed on a retail account.

What does 'awaiting authorisation' mean?

Depending on your authority level, you may see trades that are ‘awaiting authorisation’. This means that the trade has been requested and is pending authorisation by a user with Full transact authority.

Some advisers or support staff have no or limited ability to trade on clients’ accounts. These are generally those whose authority level is:

  • Enquiry
  • Limited Transact

For more information see Registering your dealer group, adviser or support staff with Macquarie.

Why can't I authorise a trade?

If you don’t see an option to continue and can’t generate and authorise the trade, you may not have the appropriate level of authority to transact on that client’s account. For more information see What are the different authorisation levels for Wrap users?

What are the restrictions on partial sales?

Where you’re placing a partial sale that is greater than 94% of the current value of that holding, you may be required to either increase the sale to a full redemption or reduce the sale to less than 94% of the current value.

How do I check the status of a trade?
