    If you mean the likes of Commsec's Direct Funds or Fairfax's Direct Access ... they do the job. If you are looking for a mechanism to avoid costly entry fees into retail managed funds, then that is a good way to do it ... and some even rebate part of the ongoing commission too.

    I started off using Neville Ward Direct (recently bought out by Commsec to become Commsec Direct Funds) when I started. I don't use them now because I only invest in wholesale funds (no entry / exit fees and lower management fees).

    If you meant something else by "discount fund brokers", then please give more details.

    I did open an account with them but they are not margin loan friendly unless you use their prefered bank. Direct Access has the fund I want and the in house Direct Shares which is *etrade will do for the other.
