• Annual pension review letters and PAYG summaries (if applicable)

Your clients' annual pension review letters include their annual pension amount for the 2019-2020 financial year based on their estimated account balance as at 1 July 2019 and instructions for changing their pension amount and/or frequency. PAYG payment summary and tax offset details may also be included where pension payments contained taxable income.

New pension payment amounts are calculated on 1 July, so you can view your clients' pension payment details for the 2019-2020 financial year on the AdviserNET 'Pension details' screen (Accounts>Account enquiry>Pension details).

Clients can also view their new pension payment details on Investor Online. You can quickly and easily make changes to your clients' pension payment details via the AdviserNET 'Change account details' screen (Transacting>Account options>Change account details). The last date for requesting changes to your clients' pension details (before the first payment is made in the new financial year) is 12 July 2019.  

You can find sample letters and forms under Adviser guides and resources.

What’s new in Investor Reports?  

A change to the net earnings calculation

Net earnings on investments reflects the net amount clients have earned on their investment during the period. For prior periods it was calculated by adding together income from investments, fee rebates, and realised and unrealised gains and losses.

Going forward net earnings on investments calculation will also include monthly management fees (including share transaction fees where applicable), and taxes related to earnings (eg PAYG instalments). This change in calculation method has no impact on their total account valuation or the closing balance shown on their annual statement. The long term returns shown for individual asset holdings also remain unchanged.

Removal of investor date of birth and phone number details (if supplied). 

To reduce the risk of fraud, we no longer show investors’ date of birth and mobile phone number reports . These details don’t appear eWRAP investment-only Investor Reports.

To help you manage your clients’ queries and expectations, our ‘Income distributions and tax components tracker’ spreadsheet shows you the income distributions and tax components we’ve already received from fund managers and what’s outstanding.

We’ll update the spreadsheet weekly. 

About income distributions

The majority of income distributions are reconciled and processed in July. However, some fund managers may not make payments until significantly later and this can delay some clients' distribution payments.

About Tax Reports

To produce Tax Reports we rely on the receipt of tax components from the fund manager or share registry of every managed fund or share a client was invested in during the financial year. We anticipate sending our first tranche of Tax Reports on Wednesday 24 July 2019.

We expect the majority of managed investment funds will opt in to the Attribution Managed Investment Trust (AMIT) regime in this current financial year. For information relating to the tax consequences for clients who hold investments in these funds, please refer to the Asgard Tax Guide.
