Alpha Index SMA
Alpha Index Separately Managed Accounts (SMA) are diversified portfolios invested across growth assets (such as Australian and International equities, property, infrastructure) and defensive income-oriented assets (such as cash and fixed interest) using passive strategies such as Index Exchange Traded Funds (ETF). Investments within the portfolio can be made up of a combination of Managed Funds, ETF and cash investments.
The proportional allocation to the various asset classes within your portfolio is maintained close to the allocation level that exists in the respective Morningstar Target Allocation Index, the respective portfolio’s benchmark.
The Alpha SMAs provide a more transparent and efficient way to invest your savings or superannuation. This is achieved via the appointment of a professional manager to manage your portfolio and see you maintaining your direct or beneficial ownership of individual investments within your portfolios, whether they are listed strategies and securities or units in a managed fund.
Alpha investment philosophy recognises that the return achieved by investors is impacted by investment costs such as management fees and trading costs, along with the tax consequences for investors. The impact of all fees and charges are considered in the management of the portfolio.
Alpha Index SMAs are specifically designed to:
Alpha Index SMA Portfolios
Each of the Alpha SMA Portfolios have a defined investment strategy that reflects a range of financial goals. The investment strategy determines how the portfolio is constructed, dynamically allocating assets proportionately across investment strategies and asset classes to achieve the objective. The investment objective of the Alpha Index SMAs is to achieve results closely in line with the benchmark using passive underlying fund exposures.
