We invest across a broad range of asset classes, as no one individual asset class is guaranteed to deliver substantial and consistent performance – once again it comes back to one of InvestSMART’s core principles of diversification.
Cash | Provides protection against the volatility of markets in times of market downturns. Why is there cash listed in my portfolio? |
Bonds | As a defensive asset, bonds provide a consistent income. They are less volatile in comparison to equities. |
Domestic Equities | Delivers strong returns over the long term, even when considering exposure to global and domestic downturn. Share value often fluctuates in the short term. |
International equities | Australian shares make up a mere 2% of the globes total market capitalisation. International equities provide access to potential returns in sectors that are underweighted in the Australian equity market (such as technology) and additional diversification benefits. |
Property & Infrastructure | Provides growth in line with inflation, or real income growth and is less volatile in comparison to equities. |
