HM 38: When superannuation fund investor has conditional entitlement
or “Rules for when you're considered to own a share in a superannuation fund”

You could also call this:

“How new investors can join existing investment groups in a PIE”

When you want to invest in a multi-rate PIE (Portfolio Investment Entity), you might choose an existing investor class. Sometimes, the PIE might not have enough investments for you to qualify as an investor in that class right away.

In this case, the PIE can still treat you as an investor in the class. However, they need to get enough investments as described in section HM 11 as soon as they can after you invest. This way, you can properly become part of the investor class you chose.

HM 39New investors in existing investor classes

  1. This section applies when a person is a new investor in an existing investor class of a multi-rate PIE but, at the time of investing, the PIE holds insufficient investments for the person to qualify as an investor in the class.

  2. The PIE may treat the person as an investor in the class if the PIE acquires sufficient investments as described in section HM 11 as soon after the investor’s acquisition of the interests as is practicable.
