Brokerage on international securities

The brokerage on International Securities is 0.15% of the purchase amount. This is only for International Securities purchased through Macquarie Wrap. International Securities trades aren’t available in Macquarie Online Trading.

Are all securities on these exchanges available?

No. Only common stock subject to both market cap and trading volumes are considered. Please note the criteria for international securities to be considered:

  • they must be common stock or fully paid ordinary stock;
  • they must meet the minimum market capitalisation of AU$500M; and
  • have daily pricing.

Some Exchange Traded Funds on some markets and American depositary receipts are also available subject to internal reviews and approval.

How do I commence trading in international listed securities?

Before trading in global markets, your clients are required to register for the service by completing the International listed securities registration form. 
 
You can download this form at Adviser Tools and resources by searching for "international listed securities registration".

Why does my client need to register to trade on international securities?

International listed security trading is an additional service that your client can opt into. If your client registers for the service, they’re required to:

  • agree to the additional fees associated with investing in and holding international listed securities
  • understand the offering by acknowledging the terms and conditions of the service, and
  • provide consent for you to trade on their behalf.

 You can commence trading for your client on the day after the registration form has been processed. 

There are specific terms the client must agree to on this form. We recommend reviewing these prior to discussing or recommending international trading with your client.

Do international securities orders placed after market close get queued?

You can place both Market to Limit and Limit orders when the foreign exchange is closed. These will be queued until the market opens except during the respective Closing Auction phase. This is usually one hour after the exchange is closed (or two hours for the Tokyo Stock Exchange). 

If you place during these closed market windows, the order won’t be visible on the Work in Progress screen for that window and the native exchange will reject the order.  

You’ll be notified of this rejection by email.

What price is used for international security valuations?

International listed security prices quoted will be the closing market price for the latest available date with the foreign exchange rate being the closing London 4pm mid spot rate. All reports will quote the value of the security in Australian dollars (A$).

Can international listed securities be transferred off Macquarie Wrap?

Your client can generally retain their listed securities if they close their account. At the client’s request, we’ll transfer in specie these investments to the client where possible. 

To transfer international securities off Macquarie Wrap, your client must provide written instructions to wrapsolutions@macquarie.com. The instructions must include:

  • your client’s previous Wrap account details
  • your client’s external account at counterparty
  • signatories and corporate titles for company accounts
  • the security ISIN and quantity
  • counterparty’s Settlement Instructions (SSI)
  • counterparty’s contact details.

Do odd lot markets exist for international security orders on Macquarie Wrap?

Where an odd lot market exists (Singapore, Hong Kong & Japan) you should place your orders with the minimum parcel increments. Odd units will not be executed. 

Please check relevant exchanges for the minimum parcel size.
