Managed funds
A managed fund is exactly that - an investment fund that is managed professionally by an expert fund manager who invests in a variety of investments. The actual type and mix of investments within the fund depends on a predetermined mandate communicated by the Fund Manager.
With managed funds, your money is pooled together with that of other investors to create a single strong fund that provides significant investor benefits, which includes an instant increase in buying strength.
The main benefit of professionally managed funds is that they provide access to an investment that offers numerous investing opportunities that the individual investor would otherwise not have been able to access.
Additionally, the wide variety of managed funds available ensures that the personal requirements of each individual investor may be met. Whether high risk/high capital growth investments or the low risk investment that provides consistent income over a period of time, managed funds offer solutions for almost every investor.
The main advantages of managed funds include:
- Diversification/Spread of risk
- Professional management
- Buying strength
- Access to international markets and investments
- Convenience
