You can roll over assets from Super accounts to an Investment account. 

Things you should know before you get started:

  • The assets must be available on the applicable Investment Menu to be held on platform
  • All transfers into 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
  • The internal in-specie transfer form can be used instead of an Australian Standard Transfer form for an in-specie transfer of assets already on our platform where there is a change in beneficial or legal ownership
  • Members may be eligible to claim tax deduction for personal contributions made within the current or previous Financial Year. To claim a deduction, members must submit a Super Deduction Notice for Personal Contributions or complete the deduction notice on the Super and Pension Withdrawal/Rollover form.
  • 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.
