Investments & Portfolio Construction

Choosing the right investments to meet your needs is a very important part of your wealth plan. Your investment choices are wide and growing all the time. Some investments are quite simple to understand, while others are more complex.

Helping people understand their choices and the features and benefits of different approaches is part of our service.

Our aim is to work with you so that decisions are consistent with your agreed needs, goals and objectives and, with which you feel comfortable.

We understand that your ideas and goals with investing your hard earned money may be different to the next person. We don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach. That's why the Pentad Group provides a comprehensive range of services to meet your own individual investment needs. Our investment recommendations consider a variety of factors, including your assessed risk tolerance, past experiences, short-term and long-term financial requirements and current and anticipated economic and investment conditions.

The Pentad Group offers different ways of meeting client needs. Those requiring personally tailored investment portfolios considering direct investments such as shares, as well as access to a wide range of managed funds are serviced through our Platinum and Gold Services Packages.

In order to avoid any conflict of interest, the Pentad Group does not develop its own investment products. Independently owned and without any institutional shareholding or control, we are not obliged to show preference to any particular range of investment products. Our managed fund product recommendations are selected from a list of both recognised and emerging boutique fund managers, and our recommendations must meet with out stringent 'bets of breed' criteria.

Those Platinum and Gold Service Package clients who prefer direct ownership of listed securities can be introduced to a Melbourne-based broker specialising in local securities (e.g. Intersuisse Limited) or to one specialising in overseas securities.

As well as mainstream products, Pentad review and consider alternative opportunities such as absolute returns style funds and property syndicates.  Regular contact is maintained with a number of fund managers, including: Macquarie, Investors Mutual, Platinum, UBS, Deutsche, Perpetuals, EQT, HFA, Barclays, Goldman Sachs JBWere, Credit Suisse, BlackRock, Challenger, Mariner, Colonial First State, Tyndall and Ausbil Dexia.

Those clients requiring a simpler “model portfolio” approach exclusively using professionally managed funds owned via an administration platform are serviced through our Silver Service Package.  Five model portfolios (Pentad Preferred Portfolios) are maintained, being Conservative, Income-oriented, Balanced, Growth-oriented and High Growth.  Pentad Preferred Portfolios have been created to meet the financial goals of our clients within their tolerance for investment ‘risk’. It is the aim of all astute investors to achieve appropriate returns from their investments taking into account these associated risks.  Our portfolios are designed to achieve this desirable outcome for our clients.

With the ever changing face of investment opportunities, Pentad reviews the tactical asset allocation of our portfolios every two months.
