This month, we’ve added Betashares Geared Managed portfolios Series to our investment menu.
AMP & Betashares have combined to create an innovative retirement solution that focuses on internally geared options to increase exposure to defensive assets and increase income.
Internally geared investments offer a cost-effective way to leverage your exposure to the share market and clients are not exposed to margin calls.
The series will focus on the different periods leading up to and post-retirement catering for a variety of client needs.
The geared equivalents tested have generally provided greater annual returns than their ungeared counterpart, (the reverse is true in negative years although positive returns vastly outweigh negative returns over the 15 years).
The series is also complementary to the North Lifetime offer due to the unique benefits that would be enhanced by being used together.
