Strong smooth returns—the Multi-manager approach
Multi-manager funds aim to provide smooth, strong returns by diversifying across asset classes and investment managers.

What’s so good about this? Go back to our hammock analogy and you can see that if you’re invested in a mix of investment managers and one of them ‘snaps’ or starts to fray, it has much less impact on your overall investment returns.

More diversification = less worry and more comfort

Example of diversification benefits:

– George invests $100,000 in the xyz Australian Share Trust.

– Peter invests $100,000 across 10 different Australian share managers (including xyz).

Both investors’ portfolios are performing well until XYZ's performance falls by 5%.

As a result of the fall in performance:

George losses $5,000 (5% of his initial investment) but Peter only losses $500 (0.5% of his initial investment).

Sit back and relax

There are thousands of investments to choose from and hundreds of investment managers and markets. Once you’ve chosen asset classes and a mix of managers, how will you ensure your portfolio remains aligned to your goals?

Working out the answers is a full-time job for a whole team of investment professionals. If you could spend 24 hours a day, you might be able to do it yourself – but wouldn’t it be better if there was a way to have all this done for you.
