Diversification Strategies

SD Life Insurance and Wealth Advice can help you achieve the right balance of diversification
Term Deposits
Term Deposits are a useful tool for providing a relatively low-risk component in your portfolio, or for delivering a predictable return for a specific period. Term deposits give you the certainty of a declared rate of interest over a fixed period. They usually offer a higher interest rate than everyday savings accounts and can be set up for short or medium terms.
SD Life Insurance and Wealth Advice can guide you to find a good rate and balance the use of this asset class in your portfolio mix.
Investing Directly in Shares
Direct Share Investment
To give you a higher level of personal control in your portfolio, we can facilitate direct investment in specific shares. This gives you a more ‘hands on’ aspect to your portfolio and can be mixed with other forms of managed investment to create a portfolio balance that is uniquely yours.
Some investors like the immediacy of seeing their investments perform day to day, others are not comfortable being exposed to the ebb and flow of fluctuating markets, so direct share investments can play an important part in a diversified strategy.
In some cases, shares can also give you access to tax benefits through franking credits, if the companies you invest in have already paid tax on their profits. There may be capital gains tax benefits if shares are held for more than 12 months.
SD Life Insurance and Wealth Advice can show you different methods to effectively incorporate direct share ownership into your portfolio so that it complements your other investments and financial goals
Dollar Cost Averaging Strategies
Dollar Cost Averaging
SD Life Insurance and Wealth Advice can show you how to implement a further level of diversification through dollar cost averaging strategies. Put simply, this involves drip feeding a set amount into your investments on a regular basis to help mitigate the impact of natural market fluctuations.
This strategy works on the principle that you will ‘average out’ your buy in price if you maintain a steady pattern of deposits
