Ventura reduces costs to financial advisers
PIS-related fund manager Ventura Investments Management has announced it is reducing the cost of its Ventura Wholesale funds in a bid to help financial advisers become more ready for the new Future of Financial Advice (FOFA) environment.
Ventura managing director Kate Mulligan said the decision to reduce costs had followed on from feedback received from financial advisers, and that the cut would represent a 25 per cent discount on previous pricing.
She said the price reduction was achievable because of the inherent efficiencies of the multi-manager fund model.
She said this model was ideal for FOFA, as it helped save financial advisers time and assisted with compliance issues such as auto-rebalancing between asset classes.
At the same time as announcing the cost reduction, Ventura confirmed it had reappointed Russell Investments as investment manager for the fund.
