About Individually Managed Accounts (IMAs)

What is an IMA?

An IMA is a professionally managed portfolio of investments owned directly by the investor. Unlike managed funds assets are not grouped with those of other investors and the IMA combines the benefits of professional money management, with the flexible control and tax advantages of owning an individual portfolio.

Who might invest in an IMA?

• Investors who lack the time, inclination or expertise to manage their own portfolio
• Investors with an existing portfolio managed by a stockbroker or bank
• Investors who wish to have a customised share portfolio developed for them
• Companies or trustees wishing to outsource their investment management

What are the benefits of an IMA?

• Investment choice and visibility
  
  Portfolios are customised to suit your individual needs, risk profile and investment strategy. Simple website access to your portfolio ensures visibility and promotes a better understanding of the investment process.



• Access to the expertise of accomplished, independent and experienced professionals
  
  A team of expert analysts, with proven track records, access the best research available and use a robust investment process to build your quality portfolio.
  
  
• Regular, comprehensive reporting of your portfolio performance in an easy-to-understand format
  
  Detailed six-monthly portfolio performance reviews, quarterly statements and year-end tax statements are provided by the IMA manager. They will also take care of all your portfolio administration.
  
  
• Flexible, efficient tax management
  
  Direct ownership of investments allows for consideration of your individual circumstances and greater tax planning flexibility. Portfolios do not inherit capital gains tax (as in the case in Managed Funds) and returns can be enhanced by including franking credits.
  
  
• Accessibility, portability and flexibility of your portfolio funds
  
  Because your portfolio is owned directly, you can transfer, add to, or withdraw your funds without financial penalty or realising capital gains.
  
  
• Simple and transparent fee structure
  
  No entry or exit fees apply, and portfolio management fees follow a simple and transparent structure which aligns our interests to that of the client.
