netwealth launches managed account
Investment platform provider netwealth has launched a managed account to give access to a range of multi-asset investment models, and is integrated within the platform.
The managed account offers automated investment management and monitoring, where assets are automatically rebalanced without the need to individually trade and execute changes.
Joint managing director Matt Heine said this structure, along with new technology, will cut the cost for advisers.
"To date managed accounts have been a relative niche product; however we are confident that this is now changing," he said.
Assets are held in the investor's account under the managed account, which means their tax will be based on their investment activity, not the broader fund.
Investors can also "lock, exclude and substitute assets as well as set minimum trade and holding sizes", netwealth said.
