Investing in an Equity Crowdfund with a Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF)

Investing in an Equity Crowdfund with a Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF)

*Before investing please seek independent advice on whether it is permissible for your SMSF  to invest in CSF (crowd-source funding) offers.

If you wish to invest in a company on Equitise using your SMSF, you can do so easily as part of the investment process. Your documents will need to be verified by our team which may take a few days, however, you can still go on to finalise your investment while this is pending.

After clicking ‘INVEST NOW’ on the offer of interest, you will follow the usual steps on how to invest until you have signed the terms of the offer. It is at this point you will get the option to invest with your SMSF by clicking the toggle next to ‘Invest as a Company, Trust or SMSF’ to the right as shown below.
