This aids in the smooth closure of accounts and processing of associated insurance claims during these difficult times.

Experience a smarter way to manage external bank accounts with 'Bank Settings'. Easily link bank accounts to simplify the transfer of money into and out of Netwealth accounts. Store multiple standing direct debits for deposits and multiple nominated bank accounts for withdrawals.

Empower your clients to navigate economic uncertainty with a range of Challenger Fixed Term Annuities. Choose from a range of terms spanning 1 to 5 years, with rates typically higher than those of comparable term deposits. With a seamless application process, you can purchase fixed-term annuities directly via Super Accelerator and Wealth Accelerator, just like you would for other investment options. This eliminates the need for separate Challenger quotes and applications.
Challenger Fixed Term Annuities are available now for purchase through the Netwealth platform with rates updated weekly.
Innovate and automate with Netwealth’s public APIs
With Netwealth's new Public APIs, it’s now easier for developers to build software solutions for advice firms. An API, or Application Programming Interface, facilitates seamless data sharing and communication between different software applications. Our Public APIs unlock a trove of Netwealth data, enabling you to innovate processes and automate tasks.
Our Public APIs can be useful for AdviceTech software providers, licensees and advice firms wanting to automate their in-house processes, and Managed Account managers looking to automate the review and reallocation of their models. The range of Public API endpoints includes:
- Account balances, holdings, and CGT information for clients

All models are backed by Lonsec's rigorous governance and review process.

These funds are diversified investments that use strategic asset allocations and invest in underlying BlackRock managed funds and ETFs.

The allocation to active strategies is used where the manager sees particular opportunities due to market inefficiencies and the potential to generate alpha. These funds are also available in Accelerator Plus.
October - December 2021
ESG research at your fingertips with our new Morningstar ratings on managed fund profiles.
According to our latest research(1), 45% of Australian's aged 18+ say that socially responsible investing is an important consideration in their investment strategy or that they are willing to sacrifice returns / pay more for socially responsible investments. The challenge for them and for like-minded investors is to validate the authenticity of the investments they choose.
With this in mind, we are pleased to introduce ESG research and ratings on managed funds from Morningstar. The new ESG ratings available on our Compare Funds & Models page include:
- The “Morningstar Sustainability Rating” that compares ESG risk across various managed funds within the same Morningstar Global Category.
- A “Low Carbon Designation” to identify low-carbon funds across the global universe. The designation is an indicator that the companies held in a portfolio are in general alignment with the transition to a low-carbon economy.
- “Sustainability info” that scores a fund on several ESG related considerations
We have also introduced a resource where you can access Morningstar's top-rated ESG funds across different asset classes.

For example, some firms may want to change "multisector" to "diversified" or create custom asset classes for investments currently assigned to 'other' or 'miscellaneous' categories.
Asset Classification is available now and requires licensee approval, contact your BDM for more information.

ASX share trading has a new home
It is now easier to buy and sell investments through Netwealth via our updated investment order pad.
To save time and remove complexity, we have integrated ASX trading into one screen so you can trade ASX securities, managed funds, term deposits and managed account models in a single transaction.
- Buy and sell multiple assets on a single screen.
- See the impact that sale proceeds have on the amount of available cash for purchases.
- View estimated buy and sell prices for assets.

Faster execution of ASX share trades with Citigroup
We are pleased to announce our new partnership with Citigroup Global Markets Australia Pty Limited (‘Citi’) as our preferred platform broker for trading of ASX securities.
Citi is a well-established global equities trading business with a strong local presence in Australia, extensive industry experience and market-leading technology. Through our partnership with Citi, we believe financial advisers and clients will enjoy an even better trading experience.
As a result of this new partnership, we have refined certain platform ASX security trading rules:
- Improved trading for ‘at-market’ orders - Previously, at-market orders were placed with a limit based on the market price as at the time the order is placed; sometimes this resulted in orders not fully being completed. Through Citi, 'at-market' orders are executed using Citi’s automated trading technology and will generally be filled more quickly and on the same trading day.
- 'At-market' orders are now ‘day only’ orders. With faster order execution times expected through Citi, future expiry dates can no longer be specified for at-market orders.
- For securities with a last traded price of $0.20 or less orders must be placed with an 'at-limit' price. This change is intended to reduce the chance of unexpected trading outcomes, which can occur when 'at-market' orders are placed for lower priced securities that can be subject to large price fluctuations, in percentage terms, during a trading day.
April - June 2021
Introducing third party access to client accounts
Provide a better client experience and service offering by sharing account information with your clients' professional support network.

Manage off-platform assets with XWrap
Almost 3 in 5 advice firms manage 25% of their clients' investment and super portfolios externally to the platform ('off-platform'), with a further 20% managing over half of their client's portfolio 'off-platform'*.
This creates the reporting challenge of getting a true understanding of a clients' portfolio, as well as the additional administrative overhead of using workaround systems when entering and managing external data.
XWrap is Netwealth's solution to change this. We've simplified the process for recording 'off-platform' asset data for a client, including unit price history, income, fees and other transactions. We've also enhanced our reporting suite so you can use it to view XWrap data consolidated with Netwealth accounts or as stand-alone.
Optimise tax outcomes with CGT preferences at an account level
Instead of having to select preferred tax options for each parcel sold, you can now set a preferred tax option for sale at an account level. You can choose from First In First Out, Last In First Out, Maximise Gains or Minimise Gains methods for CGT calculations. This can be set via Client Details > Account Settings > Tax Preference.

A “Transactions by type” summary has been added to the Client Cash Transaction Listing Report to show the total value of each transaction type for a chosen date range.

- Validations help users fill in requirements
- Multi-use super transfer tool facilitates multiple strategies.
To use, select a client with a super or income stream account and navigate via the main menu to Activities and Tasks > Transfer Between Accounts. Follow the prompts and download the transfer documents for client sign-off.
