Certain activities may delay redemption, these include:

  • Corporate actions
  • Pending SMA applications or redemptions which include managed funds being redeemed
  • Managed fund pricing when distributions are being paid.

How turnaround times are calculated

The turnaround time of the SMA is based on the underlying assets within the SMA. The turnaround time quoted is based on the asset within the SMA which takes the longest time to settle. There will be instances where the application or redemption can vary from the time quoted due to:

  • The turnaround times provided are indicative only
  • There could be an ongoing corporate action
  • In-progress trades will add additional time to the quoted timeframes
  • Asset pricing delays, particularly managed funds, when distributions are being paid
  • The rebalance of the SMA may not have generated trades for all assets, especially when partially redeeming an SMA, varying the turnaround time of the SMA.

What happens to my client's SMA if they change adviser?

When moving to a new adviser, your client’s SMA could be affected. Certain SMAs are only available to specific dealer groups and advisers. 

If the adviser has access to your selected SMA, there will be no changes and they’ll be able to transact as usual. 

If your client moves to an adviser who doesn’t have access to your selected SMA, the client will be unable to make any further contributions to the SMA. However, the adviser will be able to redeem the SMA on the client’s behalf.

If the client is looking to remove their adviser completely, our SMA Target Market Determination states that to invest in an SMA, an adviser is needed to transact on the client’s behalf. As such, the client will no longer be able to make any contributions to the SMA. 

What happens to an SMA if a client becomes unadvised?

Our Target Market Determination states SMA's are for advised clients only. If an SMA account holder becomes unadvised, they can continue holding the SMA but they will no longer be able to process any further applications for the SMA (including via automated plans).

They have the option to manually sell down by contacting live chat to speak with an adviser consultant Monday to Friday, 8am to 7pm Sydney time.
