ACBC Fixed Income No. 1 Model Portfolio
About the Australian Corporate Bond Company Fixed Income No. 1 Model Portfolio
In response to growing demand from advisers looking for fixed income solutions, we have launched a fixed income model portfolio on Macquarie SMA, Praemium SMA and SuperSMA. The portfolio brings together the access and transparency of XTBs with the investment expertise of Ian Martin (Chief Investment Officer). Advisers can now access a managed model portfolio that consists of individual fixed income securities over ASX listed companies.
All investments within the SMA are senior unsecured, Investment Grade fixed income.
Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) offer investors easy access to expert knowledge in a transparent, practical, and cost-effective manner, while also allowing full ownership of the underlying instruments.
