MANAGED FUNDS

The Managed Funds in Australia page provides links to sites with information on different managed funds available in Australia.

A managed fund allows you to pool your money with other investors, giving you a greater range of investment options than you would have if you were investing on your own.  As the name implies, a managed fund is managed by somebody else – usually investment professionals such as fund managers – who make decisions about your investments.

The advantage of a managed fund is that you can invest a relatively small amount of money in a diverse range of companies, ensuring greater security for your investment as well as the possibility of higher returns.

There is a wide range of managed funds available to choose from, and finding the option that suits you can be difficult.  It’s a good idea to have a look around and see what options are available, and consult a financial advisor before making a final decision.
