Asgard Open eWRAP Super/Pension is an administration facility that allows you to ‘wrap’ all of your superannuation (super) benefits into one simple retirement account and invest – through this account – in cash, term deposits, an extensive range of managed investments and securities listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

Asgard Open eWRAP Super/Pension offers two account types:

• Extensive investment menu.
  • You have access to a transaction account, term deposits, over 450 managed investments and a broad range of securities listed on the ASX.

• Wholesale prices and fee rebates.
  • The managed investments available are typically not available to retail investors directly and generally have lower investment manager fees than retail funds. We may also be able to negotiate rebates on the fees charged by some investment managers which will be passed on in full to members.
• Optional features.
  • You can automatically invest excess cash, rebalance your portfolio and make deposits into your Asgard Open eWRAP Super account, allowing you and your financial adviser to spend more valuable time developing your investment strategy. 
• Consolidated reporting.
  • You can get one clear view of all the investments you hold through your account. You can view your account online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via Investor Online.
• Save on fees through fee aggregation
  • Where you hold more than one Asgard Open eWRAP Super and/or Asgard Open eWRAP Pension account (subject to the conditions in this PDS being met) we will automatically link these accounts for the purposes of calculating the administration fee, which means you may save money on fees.
• Seamless transfer from super to pension.
  • When you transition to retirement or are ready to retire, investments you hold through an Asgard Open eWRAP Super account can be transferred to an Asgard Open eWRAP Pension account without needing to sell down your investments, which can incur transaction costs and keep you out of the market.
