An important step for Trustees in designing their SMSF’s investment portfolios is to have a plan for sufficient cash flow and liquidity. At Sapient we provide access to highly specialized cash management services to meet every trustees request. 

Our cash management solution gives trustees the ability to choose themselves and access term deposits and ‘at call’ accounts from every major financial institution (over 20), all from one central account.

How does it work?

Investors complete one application form and this gives them access to a range of term deposits and cash accounts at over 20 institutions. When you complete the application you nominate your bank account that you invest from and at maturity of the term deposits funds will flow back into this bank account. 

What happens at maturity?

By default the funds will be returned to the SMSF’s bank account and your representative will be able to provide you with a range of options on where you can obtain the best rate. You do not need to complete any more forms after the initial application.

Who gives the instructions?

All investments into any term deposit are discussed with your Sapient representative who will make this allocation to the chosen term deposit under your instructions only. No investment will be made into any term deposit without the investor’s prior authorisation.

Is my money secure?

Yes. Funds in a bank account are covered by the terms of the Australian government guarantee (up to $250,000) so you can be sure your money is secure. Funds are always invested in your chosen name and Sapient Money Market only has the authority to move funds between approved institutions based solely on your instructions.

Will I receive a confirmation the allocation has been made? Yes. Every time an allocation is made to any term deposit you will receive an email notification to confirm that the allocation has been made.

Can I break a term deposit early?

Yes. You money is never locked away and you always have the option to break a term deposit early should you require funds. Should you break a term deposit you may forego interest earned and any break costs are notified before breaking the term deposit. Break costs are calculated by the financial institution not Sapient Money Market.
