Why invest in a managed fund? Print
  • Create wealth
  • Diversify from your business
  • Save yourself time
  • Invest with a professional via your self-managed super fund

Diversification is key to any investment strategy. Yet too often busy professionals tie all their investments up in their business or a one or two stock portfolio and place themselves at risk. This is where a managed fund can help you diversify and contribute to your future wealth.

Managed funds pool the money of many investors providing additional buying power and enabling you to invest across a range of securities. A key advantage is that you have the expertise of a professional investor (fund manager) that can manage money on your behalf. This way you save yourself both the time and cost often associated with building a diverse investment portfolio.

Benefits of investing in a managed fund

  • managed by experienced investment professionals, undertaking significant research on stocks.
  • access to investment opportunities not generally available to retail investors.
  • diversification - access to a wide spread of different companies and businesses thereby reducing risk.
  • minimal paperwork - distribution statements provided half yearly and tax statement provided annually.
  • tax advantages - the fund manager is able to pass on dividend imputation and discounted capital gains.
  • can be easily incorporated into your self-managed super fund investment. 
You can access all of these benefits through GCAM's Australian Shares Fund.
