Metrics Credit Partners (MCP) has opened an initial public offering (IPO) for its Master Income Trust with SMSF investors in mind as it distributes monthly dividends and has low capital volatility.

Managed accounts investment firm Aleda Capital has launched a direct-to-client automated investment platform, suitable for SMSFs, as a deliberate shift away from the traditional investment model via greater transparency and simplicity.

BGL Corporate Solutions managing director Ron Lesh is hopeful a compromise will be reached for SMSFs reporting under the ATO’s transfer balance account report (TBAR) regime and the proposed monthly frequency will be replaced with a more practical quarterly occurrence.
