ACCOUNT TYPES
The most straightforward way to invest. Full personal ownership of your investments, access to the complete Cygnus product suite appropriate to your client classification, and a single view of your entire portfolio in one place.
Two account holders invest together under a single portfolio, ideal for couples, business partners or co-investors who want shared visibility and control. Both holders have full access; investments are held jointly and reported under both names.
Cygnus supports discretionary family trusts, unit trusts and other trust structures. The trustee or trustees operate the account on behalf of the trust, with investments held in the name of the trust.
A company invests directly in its own name. All investments are held in the company's name and reported accordingly for accounting and tax purposes. Commonly used by investment holding companies, family investment vehicles and businesses deploying surplus capital.
A dedicated account type designed for SMSF trustees. Provides access to a product set consistent with SIS Act requirements, including ASX and international shares and ETFs, listed options under approved strategies and fixed income.
Full integration with Class Super means your SMSF accountant can access portfolio data, valuations and transaction history directly, reducing the administrative burden at year end and supporting accurate, timely reporting.
ACCOUNT TYPES
