Infinity eWRAP Select menu changes

As part of our ongoing review of the Infinity eWRAP Select menu, we’ve made a number of adjustments to the Select menu as outlined below.

 

Fund additions

The following funds were added to the Infinity Select menu in August 2017.

Fund name APIR code
Macquarie WSP International Infrastructure Securities Fund (Hedged) WFS0867AU

Fund removals

From 31 March 2018, we will be removing the following funds from the Select menu. These funds have an equivalent Wholesale Plus Fund which will remain available on the Select menu.

Fund name APIR code Equivalent Wholesale
Plus APIR
Code
Macquarie International Infrastructure Securities Fund (Hedged) MAQ0432AU WFS0867AU
K2 Australian Absolute Return Fund KAM0101AU BTA0566AU

How the fund removals will impact your clients on the Select menu

Clients can continue to make new or additional investments into these funds up until 30 March 2018.

From 31 March 2018, any Infinity Select clients still holding these funds can:

continue holding their existing investments in these funds
move to the Full menu if they wish to make additional investments into these funds.

Any templates which include the funds being removed can no longer be linked to an Infinity Select account. Any regular buy or auto-invest excess cash in place for Infinity Select accounts that includes the funds being removed will fail to be processed.

Clients who are on Infinity eWRAP Core or Full menu are not impacted by this change.

 

Action required

Given the change to the Select menu, a transition notice period is in place in an effort to allow you to consider taking one of the below actions in your next review with your impacted clients:

move any impacted clients to the Full menu if they wish to continue making additional investments into these funds (ie. on an ad hoc basis, via templating, regular buy or auto-invest excess cash arrangements), or
amend any template, regular buy or auto-invest excess cash instruction to remove the relevant fund that’s being removed. You may want to consider replacing the relevant funds with the equivalent Wholesale Plus Fund that is now in the Infinity eWrap select menu.
 

Disclosure updates and client communications

The Approved Product List will be updated to reflect these changes and an article will also be published on Investor Online and AdviserNET on Tuesday 3 April 2018.
