A small APRA fund (SAF) is a self-managed super fund with a professional trustee.

A SAF offers the freedom and flexibility of a self-managed super fund but without the associated trustee responsibilities and risk of compliance breaches. Instead, compliance obligations are passed on to a professional trustee.

Because a SAF has a professional trustee, it can be a particularly useful tool for:

• anyone who wants greater control of their super investments but without the trustee responsibilities
• elderly people who are concerned about losing capacity
• families caring for a relative with an intellectual disability
• blended families
• a disqualified person (who can be a member of a SAF but not an SMSF)
• those moving or living overseas who can no longer be a trustee of an SMSF.

AET SAF

The AET SAF is an investment and superannuation administration service with a professional trustee. IOOF Investment Management Limited is the issuer and acts as trustee for the AET SAFs. The AET SAF provides the simplicity of investment administration from a single platform with access to a range of assets. It offers sophisticated online reporting through one convenient online portal – AET My Portfolio

Why not concentrate on your fund's investments rather than the compliance?

How it works

As the trustee, IOOF Investment Management Limited is responsible for:

• fund establishment
• asset and superannuation administration
• investment monitoring
• annual reporting
• compliance checks – ensuring that the fund meets all legislative requirements.

This means you and your adviser can concentrate on the investment strategy.
