A growing number of SMSF accountants have turned their attention to managed funds via the Australian Securities Exchange's (ASX's) mFund offering.

According to a OneVue and Investment Trends survey of more than 1200 accountants, 13 per cent plan to start using mFund for clients' funds.

"The findings are significant because mFund only recently commenced operation, and already 13 per cent

of SMSF accountants say they're likely to use it. We expect this trend will continue as more accountants

mFund was launched in May 2014. OneVue was a founding member.
