Getting started

You can transfer into your Macquarie Investment account:

  • Broker-sponsored securities (HIN Transfer)
  • Issuer-sponsored securities (SRN Transfer)
  • Broker-sponsored securities or managed funds from an external platform or custodian
  • Managed funds from direct holdings
  • Limited Power of Attorney (LPOA) transfers.

Things you should know before you get started:

For transfers of Managed Funds that are held with an external platform/custodian, please contact the platform/custodian, and provide them with any documents/information required to initiate the transfer on their end.

  • The assets must be available on the applicable Investment Menu to be held on platform
  • For all equity transfers that involve a Change of Beneficial Ownership, the market value must be greater than $500 as at transfer date
  • Where cost base information isn’t provided, a default cost base is entered as follows:
    • Purchase date = Transfer date
    • Cost = NIL.
    • Please note until this has been rectified, your client’s tax reporting may be incorrect, and any realised gains may be overstated. Once the correct cost base is forwarded to us, we’ll amend the details (this will incur a cost base adjustment fee if not provided within 60 days - please refer to the relevant offer document for more information on this fee)
  • For assets coming from a company account or an account with a corporate trustee, the forms must be signed by the correct individuals, as per the following guidelines:
    • Two Directors, or
    • A Director and Company Secretary, or
    • The Sole Company Director and Sole Company Secretary
  • If the external account is a company account or has a corporate trustee, the signatories’ signing positions must be indicated in the designated section, below the signature box (eg Director, Secretary, etc). 
  • Consider whether any dividend reinvestment plans, direct debits, periodic payments or regular buys/sells need to be cancelled with the current service provider.
  • All forms can be found on the Adviser Tools.
