Investing in Managed Funds
A managed fund is a pool of money invested by many investors and managed by professionals.

When you buy a managed fund, you're letting a professional portfolio manager do your work for you. Instead of spending hours and hours researching the best shares or funds or whatever investments that interest you, you are letting an expert do it. Whatever your goals, you can achieve them with managed funds

There's a managed fund that's right for every investor. From the inexperienced individual investor with a few thousand dollars to a gigantic superannuation fund with many millions, there's a fund to suit their purpose.

Managed funds provide significant advantages to most investors. In fact, for many investors, managed funds will be the key component in their portfolio.

We know how important diversification and asset allocation are to every investor. A mutual fund offers you both with a fraction of the investment you'd need if you were acting on your own, to say nothing of the time and effort involved.

Managed funds allow you to participate in many asset classes, geographic areas, industry sectors and investment styles. Whatever kind of portfolio you want - from ultra conservative to ultra-aggressive - it can be created with managed funds.

Real Estate
Property Trusts operate in a similar manner to Managed Funds in that a pool of investors contribute various amounts of money in acquiring units in each trust. This allows the acquisition of large properties which would normally be out of reach of the average investor and also helps to spread the risk between many people.

Property Trusts return an annual dividend dependant upon the yield of the acquired property. Investors can sell their units usually at any time, at the current market rate if they wish.

Real Estate: Most Australians are denied access to quality real estate through most financial planning channels because it is beyond the scope of the planners' activities and so seek the services of real estate agents who are for the most part, not licensed to give financial advice. They know little about investment, taxation and estate planning implications and have few qualifications necessary for investment decision-making.

Because of the growing desire for many Australians to own real estate - not only as a home but also for investment purposes, we can assist you in answering the following questions:-

  • How can I maximise my returns?
  • How can I use my superannuation to purchase real estate?
  • What are all the allowable tax deductions?
  • Am I claiming the maximum allowable depreciations?
  • Should I use a Trust to purchase property?
  • Can I minimize any Capital Gains Tax?
  • How can I best protect my assets?
  • How can I join a Property Syndicate?
