Macquarie Wrap introduces contra facility
Advisers trading through Macquarie Wrap’s Investment Manager will now have access to a new contra share trading facility that will allow them to reduce the incidence of failed trades.
The new product was launched by Macquarie’s head of wrap products, Douglas Chan, who said it was the first time the process had been made available and had been introduced following overwhelming support from advisers.
The new offline contra trading facility is an automated process that allows ‘buy’ trades to be processed with a combination of contra ‘sell’ trades and cash, meaning advisers only have to use their client’s Macquarie Cash Management Trust account balance if they do not have sufficient contra trades.
Chang said the ability to contra trade would save advisers a great deal of time and processing and would make managing accounts on behalf of their clients easier.
