INVESTMENT ADVICE
Assets can be broadly categorised into Income Assets or Growth Assets.
Income Assets are defensive in nature, with minimal risk to capital and returns are generated by the asset producing an Income for the investor. Income Assets include:
-
Cash - money market funds
-
Fixed Interest – Bonds and Debt instruments: investment-grade or junk (high-yield); government or corporate; short-term, intermediate, long-term; domestic, foreign, emerging markets
Growth Assets have the potential for greater returns, however, generally carry a greater level of volatility as your capital can move up and down in value. Returns can be generated by the value of the investment growing and producing an income such as dividends.
-
Property - Direct and Listed
-
Equities - large-cap versus small–cap, public equities v private equities, foreign, emerging markets
-
Alternative Assets – including but not limited to:
- Foreign currency
- Natural resources: oil, coal, cotton, wheat

In all of the asset classes, you can access these investments either directly or through managed investments.
