Aon Hewitt to offer direct option on platform
Aon Hewitt has added a direct investment option to its Aon Master Trust partnering with Lonsec to allow clients access to ASX listed shares, exchange traded funds (ETF) and term deposit products.
The direct option will have adviser enabled access but direct investors must have $30,000 in an Aon Master Trust superannuation account and will be restricted to investing only 70 per cent of that fund into the shares, ETFs or term deposits.
Aon Hewitt principal Steven Clarke said the partnership with Lonsec provided a fully integrated research and stockbroking solution operating inside a live tax environment providing transparent investment holdings for clients.
Lonsec said the direct option offering was the result of two years work in refining the service which was designed around the needs of the end users.
