Requirements to transfer assets in or out of my client’s Macquarie Wrap account

A smooth and seamless transition of assets is an essential element helping to form your clients’ Macquarie Wrap experience. To help you transfer assets for your clients, we’ve listed some articles below of some of our most used functions. 

We can facilitate the following types of transfers into your client’s Wrap account: 

• Domestic & international listed securities from Issuer Sponsored Holdings (SRN)
• Domestic & international listed securities from Broker Sponsored Holdings (HIN)
• Managed funds from direct holdings (held directly with fund manager)
• Both managed funds, domestic and international securities from an external platform custodian
• Domestic fixed income securities.

Generally, your client will have to complete and sign a specific type of transfer form depending on the type of transfer.  

The following steps should then be followed to process a transfer: 

1. The form(s) should be sent to us to arrange the transfer on behalf of the client
2. We’ll contact each external provider on behalf of the client and arrange the transfer of assets with each one
3. Once the transfer has been arranged with the external provider, the assets are then transferred.

When in-specie transferring assets into the Macquarie Wrap platform, the purchase price or consideration amount can be any amount that falls within 5% of the closing price on the elected date of purchase. 

The date of purchase must be within 60 days of when our team receives the transfer documents for processing and if this is a new account, the date of purchase must be a date on or after the account open date. 

Note that this isn’t the case for superannuation and pension account contributions as the trustee determines the contribution date and closing market price for contributions that occur via in-specie transfer. In this case the consideration and date of purchase will be the date that Macquarie Wrap receives all completed transfer paperwork.
