About our Self Invest fees

Administration fees and costs

Our administration fees and costs covers the cost of managing your super. Part of the cost is calculated daily and deducted from your Self Invest transaction account monthly. The remaining administration costs are paid from general reserves and don't impact your investment.

Access fee

The Self Invest access fee covers the cost of accessing all of the online facilities that let you trade and manage your investments. It also includes access to our comprehensive share research. If you have both an Accumulation and Retirement Income account and have selected Self Invest in each, the access fee will apply to both of your transaction accounts.

Brokerage fee

A brokerage transaction cost is applied every time you buy and sell shares and ETFs. Every trade, whether you’re buying or selling, incurs a separate fee. When an order requires more than one trade to be filled (including where it takes more than one day to fill an order), only one brokerage fee will apply per day. Brokerage fees are deducted from your transaction account.

ETF management fee

The ETF management fee is deducted from the ETF by the ETF manager from the returns of the underlying investments. It includes investment fees and other expenses that come with managing ETFs.

No cash management or switching fees

Unlike other super funds, we don't charge a cash management fee. We also don't charge an investment switching fee.

1. For more information, refer to the Self Invest Guide (pdf). 
2. These rates include GST. GST is applied to the brokerage fee and you'll be entitled to a credit of 75% on any GST paid. This is deducted from your Self Invest transaction account once your orders are successfully completed. Where an order requires more than one trade to be filled only one brokerage fee will apply per day.
