What are the benefits of investing with Lifespan Invest?
Lifespan Invest provides you with the opportunity to invest in a model portfolio.
- Your portfolio will be professionally managed
Once you open an account you will have your own personal portfolio that will be professionally managed for you by the team at Lifespan Invest. The team at Lifespan Invest instructs the Administrator to buy and sell securities for your portfolio.
- Stay informed and up to date via your Investor Portal and our app
You will be able to view your portfolio via your Investor Portal and our app. The team at Lifespan Invest will also keep you informed on the key issues they are assessing in managing your portfolio, including explaining the changes they make to your portfolio.
You can generate several reports on your portfolio covering portfolio performance, transactions, fees, and taxation. The Administrator will also send you an Annual Tax Statement to assist you (and your accountant) in preparing your annual tax return.
What are the risks of investing with Lifespan Invest?
Whilst our portfolios aim to minimise the risk of any capital loss by diversifying across different asset classes and within those asset classes, an investment in our portfolios is not capital guaranteed. Unlike a bank that provides a capital guarantee of up to $250,000, there is a risk of capital loss in all our portfolios.
