Benefits of a Listed Portfolio

As investors you have the choice between placing your money with fund managers or working with specialists to create your own listed portfolio. Creating your own listed portfolio is the approach we take at Carroll, Pike & Piercy.

Investing capital in direct listed securities is a proven way of generating returns and managing risk, while ensuring that fees are kept low.

Managed funds appeal to smaller retail investors because they provide ready diversification. The truth is that any individual with sufficient funds can build a fully diversified investment portfolio by investing directly in listed securities, with allocations to many asset classes including income securities, equities and property.

Carroll, Pike & Piercy's clients have all of the investment and diversification benefits of a managed fund, but with better results. Our professionals supply investment guidance drawing on experience in financial planning, stockbroking, research, Wills and Trusts, treasury, banking and public accounting to ensure a strong and stable portfolio.

A listed portfolio benefits clients by:

• Empowering clients to take an active role in managing their wealth;
• Delivering greater control over individual investments (for example, non-performers can be identified quickly and action taken);
• Enabling clients to see an exact breakdown of their investment portfolio, increasing transparency;
• Giving us the flexibility to act on new floats and opportunities when they arise;
• Delivering the benefits of direct investment, such as fully franked dividends and share buybacks; and
• Providing direct access to Carroll, Pike & Piercy.

All investment decisions or recommendations are made with a view to preserving and growing a client's capital, together with providing a source of income. Our experts work closely with clients to match the right investments to their needs, often as part of a Self Managed Superannuation Fund, and then monitor portfolio performance constantly.

All investment decisions are made on a non-discretionary basis, i.e. the client must give instructions before any investment changes occur. Every client receives a personalised, detailed Statement of Advice before they invest which is regularly reviewed and updated.
