Thanks for you feedback – glad we can be of help. I do trade US ETFs, shares and options for my Aussie SMSF through a US broker. The broker I have been using for the past 3 years is ThinkorSwim. I also did not use esuperfund because of the broker restrictions. I use DIY Superfund for doing my SMSF admin and compliance and they do not have any restrictions on brokers.

I am loving your blogs, they are so insightful and you are certainly helping me to quickly grow my knowledge about SMSF’s. Thanks for this.

I have a query around how you are able to trade the US ETF’s using your SMSF?

I was looking at setting up my SMSF through esuperfund, but they are linked to Commsec, eBroking and CMC Markets. All of which dont have access to the US ETF’s. My IG markets broker has access to the ETF’s, but dont allow SMSF’s. I have a US broker – Tradestation. But are you able to use your Aussie SMSF to trade US ETF’s through a US Broker?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,
Sean
