Totality Australia: account tiers, Saxo migration, FX costs and custody

Totality is the renamed Australian Saxo business, with a separate 2026 platform transition. This profile explains Classic and First prices, FX rollover, currency conversion, foreign-security custody, reporting fees and the distinction between opening an account and funding a trade.

Profile scope

Australian multi-asset service operated by Totality Wealth Limited, formerly Saxo Capital Markets (Australia). Company disclosures identify AFSL 280372; platform technology and securities custody include Saxo arrangements. Retail and wholesale classifications have different terms.

  • Saxo-branded platforms were retired for this migration on 1 April 2026; existing clients use the Totality login and password-reset process.
  • Classic and First advertised FX minima differ from average executable spreads and exclude overnight costs.
  • International securities custody is posted at 0.12% a year for Classic and 0.06% for First; ASX securities are exempt.
  • No inactivity fee is posted, but requested email reports, outward securities transfers and some tax documents have separate fees.

Totality’s Australian legal issuer is Totality Wealth Limited, with the former Saxo Capital Markets (Australia) identity disclosed on its site. The 2026 rebranding affects client logins and support as well as the name. Cash equities, rolling FX and exchange-traded derivatives retain different custody, settlement and financing arrangements.[1][2][9]

The absence of an inactivity charge does not make an idle portfolio cost-free: foreign securities can continue to attract custody fees. FX positions also have a rollover cost independent of the displayed entry spread. The live ticket is important because the general schedule still contains legacy Platinum/VIP wording in its instrument-request section, while the active pricing pages use Classic and First.[8][3]
