Update the cost base for your assets
When bringing holdings to your Macquarie Online Trading accounts, any cost base data from your previous broker or registry will not be brought across with your holdings.
To update the cost base value:
- Log into trading.macquarie.com.au with your Macquarie ID and password
- Hover on Accounts and click Portfolio Manager on the top menu
- Click the + relating to the investment you would like to update the cost base value
- You can enter either the total cost value or the average price
- Click Update.
Change the trustee(s)
If you’ve changed the trustee(s), you’ll need to open a new Macquarie Online Trading account in the new name.
If you’d like to move your holdings from the old Macquarie Online Trading account to the new one, request a new HIN on the new application and complete a Holding Transfer by submitting the Holdings Transfer - Change of Trustee form with the application.
A few things to remember:
- There is no fee for the transfer if there is no change in beneficial owner(s).
- You can update the trustee(s) on your Macquarie Cash Management Account and link the new Macquarie Online Trading account by nominating the existing Macquarie Cash Management Account in the new application.
Change CHESS registration address
To update the CHESS registration address for your MOT account, the account holder needs to complete the Change of Registration Address form and return to support@trading.macquarie.com
Please note, you can’t update to an overseas address. If you need to update your CHESS Registration Address to an overseas address, you’ll need to close the Macquarie Online Trading account.
