Self-Managed Superannuation Fund Account Structure

A self managed superannuation fund or SMSF is a private superannuation fund, regulated by the Australian Taxation Office, that can be owned and managed by up to four members.

Account Information

Accounts are only available to Australian customers whom are carrying out the role of trustee or director of a Self Managed Superannuation Fund (“SMSF”).

Must be 18 years or over to open an account.

Our SMSF account is designed to enable compliance with the applicable regulations governing superannuation funds in Australia. For example, our SMSF account enables the trustee or director of the SMSF to generate customized account statements in order to assist with the record keeping and annual audit requirements applying to SMSF’s under the law.

We have also established an electronic connection with firms that offer software and administration solutions for SMSFs, such as Class9. You can access the services of these firms, which may create efficiencies for your SMSF and your accountant who may be managing your SMSF.

Where an accountant or similar firm is managing your SMSF account, you also have the option to open and link an Administrator Account for them. This enables your accountant to access reporting and other administrative functions which improves efficiency. Administrators have no access to funding, cannot trade and have no access to IBKR trading platforms. See here for more details.

Please note that monthly activity and other minimum fees may apply.
