Overview
AdviserLogic can now identify the underlying investment types held within CFS Edge platforms and accurately categorise them for admin fee modelling, improving admin fee accuracy across Super, Pension, and Investment products.
We heard your feedback. Manually assigning asset types for CFS Edge was time-consuming and added needless work.
With this update, AdviserLogic identifies each holding and classifies it into the correct category:
- Accelerate 100 SMAs
- Accelerate 30 SMAs
- Cash
- Eligible Funds
- International Securities
- Other Assets
All Advice Scenarios Supported
AdviserLogic identifies the relevant asset types whether you are working with a client’s existing CFS Edge platform or modelling a recommended one. This removes the need to manually categorise holdings during reviews, switches, or new advice strategies.
This capability is fully supported across both Digital Advice and Advice Tools workflows, so your admin fee calculations stay consistent no matter where the strategy is built.
👉 Flexible Fee Inputs
You can still edit the asset breakdown if you need to.
Enter values under:
• Accelerate Series SMAs
• International Securities
• Eligible Funds
AdviserLogic will apply the appropriate admin fee calculation based on your inputs, giving you control where needed without losing efficiency.
Access
To access this feature, select the ℹ️ icon next to your CFS Edge Platform Admin Fees on the Fee Comparison screen within a Digital Advice Scenario or in Digital Advice Tools.
Once selected, you'll see a detailed breakdown of the Admin Fee, including how each component is being calculated for your specific scenario.
Understanding the CFS Edge Admin Fee Breakdown
This screen displays how Admin Fees are calculated for CFS Edge Super, Pension, and Investment platforms based on the asset categorisation and applicable tiered fee structure.
Account Balance | Reflects the total amount you've used to begin the recommendation - in this example, $45,000. |
Acc 100 SMAs & Eligible Funds | These categories are excluded from the Admin Fee calculation, as they qualify for a 100% discount under the fee methodology. |
Applicable Balance | Represents the portion of the account used to calculate tiered fees. Acc 30 SMAs, along with other eligible assets, are included here. |
Tiered Fee Calculation | The Applicable Balance is assessed against CFS Edge’s tiered admin fee rates:

Manual Adjustments
Select the pencil icon from the top left of the window to view and edit the Account Balance breakdown across investment categories.
You can reassign amounts if required, then Save to reflect the updated Admin Fee calculation.
Apply Family Fee Aggregation Discounts
If you want to apply Family Fee Aggregation, AdviserLogic allows you to link accounts across Super, Pension, and Investment platforms, including family member accounts. This ensures that tiered admin fee discounts are applied proportionately across the full family group.
You can access the Fee Aggregation option by hovering over the platform name in the Comparison screen, or by opening the ℹ️ icon and selecting the link button located above the edit icon in the top-right corner of the window.
Add Members & Platforms
You can add an account for the member you’re currently advising, or select Add Member/Entity to include additional family members and their accounts.
Select the Add Member button from the top left of the fee Aggregation window.
When you add a member for Fee Aggregation, a new section will open for each one beneath the clients existing record.
In this section, you can select the member from the client’s existing partner or entity records already captured in AdviserLogic, or choose Other to add a member or entity who isn’t currently recorded in the system
This gives you the flexibility to model fee aggregation for both known relationships and external family members.
Next, select the applicable CFS Edge platform for each account
Enter Account Balances
Once added, enter the Total Balance for each linked account.
The system will initially allocate the full balance to Other Assets, which you can then redistribute manually across the available fields:
Accelerate 100 SMAs | Eligible Funds | Cash |
Accelerate 30 SMAs | International Securities | Other |
The allocation will automatically adjust the Applicable Balance and recalculate admin fees accordingly.
Review Fee Savings
After all members and balances are added, select Next to view a summary of fee savings.
The page will open on the Administration Fee (with Aggregation) section.
You’ll see:
