Invest Differently
Regular Income | Long Term Stability
Affluence manage Funds that seek to provide a combination of regular income and long-term capital growth by investing with some of the best managed funds available in Australia.
What makes Affluence different?
| Traditional Fund Managers | Affluence – Invest Differently |
|---|---|
| Follow The Herd: Traditional managers are too scared to fail, so they don’t succeed. Most don’t outperform the index | Actively Pursue Out-performance: From our fee structure alignment to our investment methodology, our strategy targets positive returns and low volatility. |
| Restricted Product Selection: Commonly places clients into their own managed funds or choose from a restricted list of ‘approved’ funds. | Best Of Breed: We will seek the best fund managers, and combine them in a way which cushions against equity market corrections. |
| Traditional Asset Classes: Manage large amounts in traditional asset classes (e.g. ASX200 equities), which minimises chances of excess performance. | Unique Strategies: We prefer managers who operate in specialised markets with less funds under management and a competitive advantage. |
| High, Fixed Fees: Take fees regardless of performance. | No Fixed Fees: Our fees are 100% performance based. |
Our investment philosophy centres around a few core key themes.
Invest Differently
If you want better than average returns, you need to invest differently and more strategically than the crowd.
Market Awareness
Being aware of long-term cycles and seeking to time investments can significantly improve performance.
Invest For Value
Value investing works best in the long term, particularly when combined with positive momentum.
Be Patient
Long term success requires a long term focus, which in turn requires patience and discipline.
Competitive Advantage
Investing in markets where there is less competition makes it easier to achieve above average results.
Lowering Volatility
A focus on lowering volatility of returns through diversification provides comfort for investors.
