You may be surprised how quickly TrailCap™ kicks in

  Print

TrailCap™ enables you to monitor accumulated trailing commissions on managed investments held by you, your partner, companies, trusts and/or their various superannuation funds under the one TrailCap™ account. These all count towards your annual trailing commission amount and 50% of the amount above $300* will be passed on to you every year.

The example below shows how easy it can be to get cash back. Just by nominating InvestSMART as their fund broker, Mr and Mrs Smart have received $368.75 cash from InvestSMART for this year's investment!

TrailCap™ makes managing your investments easy. You receive consolidated reporting and can freely monitor and track your trailing commissions - which means less paperwork and saves you time.

No need to change out of existing funds

There is no need for you to change out of your existing funds to participate in TrailCap™. Most of Australia's leading fund managers participate in our TrailCap™ program - see the list of managers below.

To maximise your cash back, ensure all your investments made in future bear the InvestSMART stamp on the application form or simply notify us of all future investments.

Payment to investors

All InvestSMART members are able to monitor their accumulating trailing commissions through the Accumulated Trails table.

50% of accumulating trails greater then the $300 per year will be paid to a member on the anniversary of their InvestSMART membership. Accumulating trails will be automatically ruled off on the anniversary of each member's membership.

If the payout amount is less than $25, members will not receive a cheque that year and their balance will be automatically credited to the following year's payout amount.

Members will receive their cheques in the mail within 30 days following automatic rule off. Upon payment, the Accumulated Trails table will be reset to zero and past payments will be recorded within the Past Payouts section of My TrailCap.

Payout amounts may be classified as assessable income, as they are a return of income derived from an investment. Members should ask their accountant how such payout may affect their tax position.



* The TrailCap™ program is only applicable to those funds managed by participating fund managers. It does not apply to any wholesale-managed funds, or managed funds which do not pay InvestSMART a trailing commission.
