They are constructed using a range of growth and defensive assets such as Australian and global equities, property, fixed interest, and cash.
Lonsec chief investment officer, Lukasz de Pourbaix, said: “We were excited to develop this suite of portfolios with Netwealth as they offer a cost competitive solution for investors looking for a quality investment providing capital growth and income over the medium to long term.
“The portfolios also incorporate dynamic asset allocation and use a core/satellite approach to investment selection.”
