A portfolio that grows with you
Your multi-asset portfolio will comprise a combination of cash, Australian government bonds and blue-chip shares, both Australian and international.
We accept balances as low as $10,000. As you will be holding direct securities (shares and bonds) in your own name, you won’t have enough to buy a security in each asset with only $10,000. So, with $10,000 you will start with a portfolio of exchange traded funds (ETFs). As your balance increases we will add more direct shares and bonds. At $200,000 you will only own direct securities.
How different are direct assets to exchange traded funds?
Most studies suggest asset allocation is more important than stock selection. Whichever amount you invest, you will have the same amount allocated to each asset class: cash, bonds, Australian shares or international shares.
The benefits of having direct assets are:
- You have more control over the ethics of your portfolio
- We have more control over the stocks that we choose within your portfolio. We believe this will result in better investment outcomes.
- Costs are lower for direct assets
- There may be tax advantages
