Notes

1. When a new Fund is established, the monthly administration fee begins from the first day of the month following inception. By way of clarity this means that a new fund, commenced on January 15th, would be billed 5 monthly instalments, until June 30th. If there is a delay in receiving cash into the fund’s bank account, the fee may be reduced to $34 per month for that period.
2. When an existing Fund transfers to our service it will be liable for the monthly administration fees applicable to the service from July 1st as the administration period covers the full financial year. There may be previous year’s accounts to be completed as well. We may provide a fee waiver, but conditions will apply – generally the fund must remain on our service for three full fee-paying years, or the waiver will be reversed.
3. For a fund to qualify for Gold pricing it must satisfy the criteria for that pricing for the full financial year or, for a new fund, from inception. Essentially the fund must accept electronic signatures, hold a Macquarie CMA for its cash account and invest only in assets where data is received by us via data feeds. This includes listed shares and ETFs from most brokers and approved wrap accounts. Similarly, AMM reliably downloads to our systems so is a potential fixed interest solution for our Gold option as direct fixed interest investments are excluded.
4. Platinum pricing will apply to any fund commencing on our service unless we are advised that the fund will satisfy Gold pricing conditions for the whole of the financial year. If we are advised that this is the case but subsequently find that the fund does not qualify for Gold pricing, the Platinum fee will be charged from inception.
5. The base audit fee is not controlled by us so may differ from this published rate. It also includes a preparation component. Additional fees will be charged for contravention reports and certain investments.
6. We do not provide investment advice or receive any product inducements. The Macquarie CMA has greater administrative functionality than other products, so it provides us with enhanced administrative capabilities including allowing us to pay fund tax.
7. The reliability of wrap account data varies widely. Even the best requires manual intervention. Approved wraps for our Gold service include Macquarie, BT & CFS. Our list is refreshed based on experience. If favourable, over a twelve-month period, we may approve a Wrap for the Gold service. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
8. Due to strict audit requirements this investment type requires us to investigate its underlying asset and accounting details each year. We may ask for extra information and may not be able to complete the super fund’s returns until the investment’s tax returns have been completed.
9. The Health Check provides an overview of the fund’s deed, establishing documents, binding death benefit nominations and pension documentation. Historically we have found the need for further action in around 70% of the funds that have transferred to our service. We provide a list of recommendations as applicable. If any items require chargeable action, we credit the Health Check fee towards them in full.
10. This applies where submitted applications contain incorrect information – wrong or incomplete trustee/director names, etc. – discovered after we have produced all documentation and/or reported to ATO/ASIC necessitating rework and rectification.
11. This applies where confirmed information provided to us is changed after the year end financials have been produced – e.g. confirmed non deductible personal contributions altering to deductible – requiring the creation of new accounts and, possibly, rechecking by the auditor.
