Managed Funds – Why You Need Industry Experts

Good professionals should not usually take the leg-work out of managed funds research and selection. Their expertise can also help guide an investor through potential caveats, as well as highlighting potential attractive investment opportunities.

Familiarising yourself with the huge selection of managed funds available is an impossible task. Just picking one and hoping for the best is also not really a wise strategy. A managed fund professional should be able to narrow down and provide you with a small handful of the best managed funds, from which to choose. He or she should also be able to explain the relative merits of each.

The financial world is full of jargon. Collateralised debt obligations, long-short strategies, vulture funds. A good financial adviser are able to break down financial jargon for the layman. If more “sophisticated” managed funds are deemed appropriate, then your adviser should also be able to clearly articulate the fund’s strategy and investment philosophy.

A managed fund professional can help guide you from overly risky or inappropriate investments. They could also recommend strategies that actually reduce your overall risk, like finding funds that complement your existing investments, or funds which are quite diversified themselves.

“Do not put all your eggs in one basket”. It’s an old saying, however it is very suitable for investing. Managed funds can complement your existing property assets. Similarly, a managed fund itself is composed of many smaller investments. Further still, a diversified fund might give you access to investments in local equities, international equities, property, bonds, commodities and so on. The greater diversified your investments are, the lower the potential of volatility.

Buying eastern european shares, or trying to gain experience of high growth chinese technology companies on your own can be quite a difficult, time intensive, and often expensive exercise. An investment professional can find suitable funds for the international exposure you may well be seeking, eliminating such problems.

Managed funds can be broad based investments, or may have a very narrow specific investment strategies. A broad based fund may give you access to shares, bonds and property. More specific funds might have a narrow focus such as commodities, or just one commodity, like gold. Others could focus on commercial property.

An expert will find appropriate investments with regards to your situation and investment outlook. A passive “index” fund that aims to mirror the performance of a certain index (eg the ASX100) is an easy product which can be appropriate to an investor searching for general stock exchange exposure. An investor that has a view that Asian economies are due to outperform may be thinking about an asian specific fund. There is literally a whole world of investment options, but a good financial professional can filter this down to the managed funds most appropriate for you.
