Choosing an Investment Profile *

The following describes the six different Investment Profiles we use for investing. See the below graphic for additional information. You are able to choose between;

15% Growth - 85% Defensive Assets – This portfolio suits investors who give a high priority to the preservation of capital and are therefore willing to accept lower potential investment performance, hence the 85 percent exposure to income assets (cash and fixed interest). This suits investors with a minimum two-year timeframe or those that seek a portfolio comprising mainly of interest bearing assets.

30% Growth - 70% Defensive – This portfolio suits investors seeking a low level of investment value volatility, and therefore willing to accept lower potential investment performance, hence the 70 percent exposure to income assets (cash and fixed interest). This suits investors with a minimum three-year timeframe or those who primarily seek income with some potential for capital growth.

50% Growth - 50% Defensive – This portfolio suits investors who desire a modest level of capital stability but are willing to accept moderate investment value volatility in return for commensurate potential investment performance, hence the 50 percent exposure to growth (shares and listed property) and 50 percent exposure to income (cash and fixed interest) assets. This suits investors with a minimum five-year timeframe or those who seek both income and capital growth.

70% Growth - 30% Defensive – Some capital stability is still desired, but the primary concern is a higher return, hence the 70 percent exposure to growth assets (shares and listed property). This suits investors with a minimum seven-year timeframe or those who are willing to accept higher levels of investment value volatility in return for higher potential investment performance.

85% Growth - 15% Defensive - The 85 percent exposure to growth assets (shares and listed property) means that capital stability is only a minor concern. This suits investors with a minimum nine-year timeframe or those who are willing to accept high levels of investment value volatility in return for high potential investment performance.

100% Growth Assets - The 100 percent exposure to growth assets (shares and listed property) means that capital stability is not a consideration. This suits investors with a minimum ten-year timeframe or those who are willing to accept very high levels of investment value volatility to maximise potential investment performance.
