Separately Managed Accounts Or SMAs?
Separately Managed Accounts or SMAs are Managed Investment Schemes that are based on model portfolios with the minimum investments set at a relatively low level for a retail client. They’re an alternative to traditional superannuation funds, managed by a professional investment manager as opposed to being self-managed or managed by a traditional fund.
SMAs can be a great option for those looking for more control, customisability, simplicity, and transparency when it comes to managing their money. They can also be good for those seeking a more cost-effective option, as certain tax advantages come with SMAs. If you’re considering an SMA, our private wealth advisers can provide you with advice and also assist you in setting up and managing your account.
Model Portfolios Or MPs
We provided model portfolio and SMA services to advisers, wholesale and corporate clients. Model portfolios are professionally managed asset allocation programs tailored to fit a specific investor’s needs and risk profile.
What We Can Offer:
We offer end-to-end investment management, asset allocation, execution, and rebalance services for our clients under a model portfolio and SMA investment program.
Key Benefits of MPs & SMAs
Direct Ownership
Investors have direct ownership of underlying securities.
Beneficial Owner
MPs/SMAs are Individual Accounts, meaning you’re the beneficial owner.
Professionally Managed
Access to professional investment management expertise of your advisers in actively managing your portfolio.
Low Cost
MPs/SMAs can allow brokerage to be spread across several investors, meaning lower brokerage.
Diversification
Can be diversified by asset types and also be managed by expert strategists and overlay portfolio managers
Transparency
The Managed Account Service has the advantages of: lower fees, greater flexibility & transparency.
To get started, we work with advisers to create portfolios under their respective entities or for the respective client. We select the investment mix and portfolios can be established with exposure to all the major asset classes- fixed-interest, listed investment securities (LICs), ETFs, managed funds, and more. We also provide MP/SMA services to individual wholesale investors and their super funds/SMSFs. Investment decisions are made independently by our fund managers for our clients. Under an MP/SMA structure, we can pool investment funds together and investors can gain exposure with a minimum investment starting from $50k upwards.
Why The Managed Account Service?
Ownership: Under this Managed Account Service you retain legal and/or beneficial ownership of the Financial Products in your Managed Account. This means that you receive all income and gains from those Financial Products.
Implementation: Your Financial Adviser has discretion to make investment decisions on your behalf in accordance with the agreed parameters of the Investment Program outlined in this Contract. This ensures the time taken to implement an investment idea is not impacted by the time taken to gain your approval. This ensures your Financial Adviser can get on with the management of your investment portfolio rather than being bogged down with administration processes.
Professional investment management: You gain access to professional investment management expertise of your Financial Adviser or a Third-Party Manager appointed by your Financial Adviser in actively managing your portfolio.
Tax efficient structure: Because you retain legal and/or beneficial ownership of the investments, management of your tax position can be more efficient when compared to other forms of investment through managed funds or unit trusts. Your tax management can be more efficient because:
- you are entitled to all income and distributions arising from your investments;
- you are entitled to all tax credits (e.g. franking credits) attached to distributions;
- your tax planning can be better personalised; and
- you don’t inherit the unrealised gains and losses of other investors.
Transparency: The Managed Account Service has the advantages of lower fees, greater flexibility & transparency.
