Australian Expatriate Superannuation Fund

The Australian Financial Services Industry is a well regulated jurisdiction which is governed by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). This gives you peace of mind knowing that you can save for your retirement in a secure and safe environment.

Australian Expatriate Superannuation Fund (AESF)


There are various types of Superannuation options in Australia, such as Self-Managed Super Funds, Corporate Super Funds, Industry Super Funds, Public Sector Super Funds and Retail Super Funds.

Our Australian Expatriate Superannuation Fund (AESF) is currently the ONLY Retail Super Fund in Australia that is registered with Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC) as a Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS). This means that it is the only Retail Super Fund in Australia that can accept a transfer of UK Pension funds.

The Plan is managed by Diversa Trustees Limited, an approved Trustee regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) – RSE License L0000635, AFSL Licence 235153.

AESF is a division in the Tidswell Master Superannuation Plan (TMSP), Registration No. R1004953, which was established in 1988 and is a public offer superannuation fund. The Tidswell Master Superannuation Plan can be found on the HMRC ROPS list.

Retail Super Funds are similar in structure to UK Personal Pension plans as you have access to a wide range of investment choices, and when it comes to retirement (your preservation age), you can flexibly access your funds. The Retail Fund provider is also the Trustee meaning that the day to day management and administration of the fund is their responsibility, not yours.

Our team of UK Pension Transfer specialists have a wealth of experience when assisting our clients transfer their UK Pension to Australia. To most people, this process may appear to be daunting and complex but at IVCM, it is our job to simplify that complexity and put your mind at ease knowing that you can transfer your pension safely, securely and efficiently with us.  

However, it is important to note that we are NOT authorised to provide you with any personal advice and so we strongly recommend that you seek professional personal advice from a suitably qualified Financial Adviser, before transferring a pension. It is important for your financial position to be assessed in order for you to have complete assurance that transferring your pension is in your best interest. If you would like us to put you in touch with a trusted financial adviser, just ask.
