The Panorama SMSF Establishment Service Our SMSF Establishment Service includes everything you need to get your Self Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF) up and running: > > Key documents including a Trust Deed, trustee declarations and consents, fund Product Disclosure Statement (PDS), member applications and minutes > > Establishment of a company to act as corporate trustee (where applicable), including registration of the company with the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) > > Registration of your fund for a Tax File Number (TFN) and an Australian Business Number (ABN) > > Notification to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) of your fund s election to be a regulated fund > > Investment strategy template > > Set up of a Panorama Investments account with a BT Cash Management Account (BT CMA). You can have up to four members in your SMSF. Generally, each member must be an individual trustee or a director of a corporate trustee (i.e. a company acting as trustee for your SMSF). There are a number of things to consider in determining which trustee structure is right for you. For more information speak to your adviser or visit the ATO website. Your responsibilities as trustee When setting up an SMSF, it is important that you are aware of your responsibilities as a trustee. As the trustee, or as a director of a corporate trustee, you ll be responsible for ensuring that your fund operates within the law and complies with the trust deed for your fund. If you don t, you may face severe penalties and your fund may suffer tax consequences. Your responsibilities for your SMSF will include: > > Maintaining all SMSF records > > Establishing, implementing and reviewing the SMSF s investment strategy > > Lodging all required tax and regulatory returns. Each trustee and each director of a corporate trustee must sign an ATO Trustee declaration that confirms they understand their duties and responsibilities, which we will provide you with. For directors of a corporate trustee, your responsibilities also include maintaining all company records and paying the ASIC company annual review fee. For more information about your responsibilities speak to your adviser or visit the ATO website. Directors of a corporate trustee should also visit the ASIC website. 2

Setting up your SMSF is easy with Panorama The Panorama SMSF Establishment Service is an intuitive and simple way to get you started with your SMSF. We keep you informed throughout the whole process, and once you have executed all the required documents, we ll look after all necessary steps and registrations to get your fund up and running. One simple, combined application You or your adviser can set up your SMSF and open a Panorama Investments account, with a BT CMA ( your SMSF s cash account ), in one simple, combined application. Everything you need All the documents you need to establish your SMSF are at your fingertips, including an SMSF Trust Deed. The Trust Deed is prepared and provided by a specialist law firm, and is designed to cater for a wide variety of SMSF strategies. Speak to your financial adviser (if you have one) for more information on the key features of the Trust Deed. We recommend you seek independent financial and/or legal advice to ensure the Trust Deed is suitable for your circumstances. Set up a corporate trustee If you choose to have a corporate trustee for your SMSF, we ll set up and register a special purpose company to be the trustee. Fund registration We take care of registering your SMSF with the ATO, including arranging the fund s TFN and ABN and notifying the ATO of the fund s election to be a regulated fund. Access your documents all in one place Your SMSF documents are stored in your fund s online document library, once your SMSF s Panorama Investments account is active. You can securely store all your important SMSF documents in one place and easily share them with your linked adviser and/or accountant. Is an SMSF right for you? You should speak to your financial adviser or visit the ATO website to help you decide whether an SMSF is right for your particular circumstances. The ATO provides a range of information to help you assess whether an SMSF might be suitable for you. Please refer to the ATO website for more information. 3

How does it work? 1 Completing your application We, or your adviser, will complete the application for your new SMSF, the establishment of a corporate trustee (if applicable) and your SMSF s Panorama Investments account on your behalf, in accordance with your instructions.

What you need to do > > If you opt for a corporate trustee, prior to authorising your application, you must ensure that all relevant company consent forms are completed and signed.
