Getting to the bottom of investment fees can be difficult - for many companies intentionally so.
Many funds have multiple layers of fees and they may not be showing you all of the fees.
In the tables here we show the average and median fees for all Australian Superannuation funds as assessed by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.
Nucleus Direct Indexing is one of the cheapest ways to invest either inside of super or outside of super.
The fees come in three parts:
You can choose to invest in almost any structure (Individual, Joint, Personal Superannaution, Company, Trust, SMSF etc.). The investment fee and trading fees are the same.
Administration fees vary based on whether you are investing in personal superannuation or not.
The below shows the fees on our cheapest and most flexible platform.

| Investment Amount | Cash or ETF Tilts | All Other investments |
| $0-500,000 | 0.000% | 0.165% |

For example, say you deposit $1,000 every month into a global 75 direct index. We would buy 75 shares (or fractions of shares) and charge you 99c in total for all 75 trades.
