Implementation Procedure

1. Review the SoA implementation checklist (at the back of the SoA)
2. Prepare the applications as per the recommendations in the advice document

When there are Self-Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF) recommendations:

Where we have recommended setting up a SMSF or changing investments within the SMSF, you will need
to check on the following details:

- Does the recommended SMSF Investment platform accept rollover cheques?
- Does the recommended SMSF Investment platform allow for third party

payments/withdrawals?

Platform Accepts SMSF Allows SMSF Cash
Rollover Payment to Account
Cheques Third Parties Required

Netwealth YES YES NO

HUB24 NO NO YES

As shown in the table above, if we are recommending our clients rollover their existing retail
superannuation balances into a Netwealth investment account in the SMSF name, no SMSF cash account
is required to be set up. However, if we are recommending rolling over into HUB24 investment account, we
will need to establish a cash account as part of implementation as HUB do not accept rollover cheques and
do not allow for third party payments.

- For identification and application purposes you will need to certain details about the SMSF to
complete the applications correctly. If this is a referral from Maxim Accounting, all these details
will be on XPM (green xero/practice manager). If you need further clarification, ask the client
manager for additional details. The following needs to be ready to complete the applications:
o Who are the members of the SMSF?
o Does the SMSF have a corporate trustee?
o Who are the directors of the corporate trustee?

NOTE: When preparing applications for a Self-Managed Superannuation fund through a platform
(i.e. Netwealth & HUB24) you will do an ‘investment’ account application in the name of the SMSF
NOT a superannuation application.

3. Check the applications have been signed where required and relevant ID forms have been
completed

4. Check that the fees have been taken correctly.
a. Have the clients been invoiced and paid for the SoA fee
b. Has the implementation fee been taken upon the funds hitting the new account

19

i. Where we have nominated in HUB24 to process the initial deposit as the adviser –
you will need to select that the initial fee be taken at time of processing the initial
deposit. If this hasn’t been done, don’t stress! HUB24 will go back to the signed
application and process as per sign off if you request.

ii. Netwealth will process the implementation fee as per what is signed off on the
form.

5. Once everything is set up and in place, complete the welcome letter to go out to the client.
6. The compliance checklist is to be completed once everything is finalised and the welcome letter

has gone out to the client.

20

Compliance Checklist

Once the implementation stage is completed for all new clients and the welcome letter has been sent out,
we complete a Compliance Checklist. This is a final run through of the client file to ensure we have
everything signed and have provided all relevant documents to the client.

NOTE: Anything missing from a client file needs to be followed up on either directly with the client or with
the adviser.

The Compliance Checklist template is saved in Suite Files under Compliance.

Switch/Transaction Fee
(Upfront) of fee and may be charged on either a buy or a sell of shares.
Check with the relevant platform what the cost is as this differs.

Some platforms we use charge a flat dollar ‘switching’ fee to buy or
sell a managed fund. This is similar to a brokerage fee as

mentioned above however is charged on the purchase/sale of
managed funds. This fee is not to be with a buy/sell differential cost

as explained below.
