Managed Funds

Defined simply, managed funds pool the money of individual investors who share common investment goals. Professional fund managers use the pool money to buy securities, such as shares, property, fixed interest and cash, that are consistent with the fund's financial objective. Because they offer instant diversification and expert management, managed funds are an excellent way to help build a retirement nest egg.

When you invest in a managed fund, you purchase units in that fund. Since your money is pooled with that of numerous investors, you're able to invest in more investments than you could buy on your own. Plus, you don't have to worry about time consuming research or figuring out when to buy or sell individual investments. Your managed fund managers do it all for you.

There are managed funds for virtually every investment objective. As a result, you can invest in those whose objectives are best suited to helping you work toward financial goals. Click here for information about the different types of funds.
