Since 2009, SMA model portfolios have been a big part of our investment story. With a range of benefits for both investors and their advisers make SMAs part of your investment story.

Separately managed accounts, or SMAs, are a way of investing directly in equities while maintaining the benefits of professional investment management. Like a managed fund, an SMA is a portfolio of equities (or other assets) that is managed by a professional investment manager. The key difference however is that an SMA is not a pooled trust in which an investor acquires units. Instead, with an SMA, the client has an absolute entitlement to, and beneficial ownership of, a portfolio of assets that are held in trust on their behalf. The assets held in a client’s portfolio are determined by the model portfolio(s) that they choose.

Antares offers four SMA model portfolios:

Dividend Builder Model Portfolio

An actively-managed Australian share portfolio that primarily aims to deliver regular dividend income. It also seeks to achieve moderate capital growth by investing in a diversified portfolio of Australian companies.  

 

Benchmark: S&P/ASX 200 Total Return Index
Shares in the portfolio: 13 to 25

Investment timeframe: 5 years or more
 

 

  • A focus on tax-effective income

    The Dividend Builder Model Portfolio is designed to provide a tax-effective income stream through participating in the Australian share market and investing in listed companies providing dividend growth over time.

    It may also act as an income stabiliser in investment portfolios, especially during shifting or uncertain markets.

     

    Looking to create another income stream

    Given the Model Portfolio’s focus on generating tax-effective income, it may provide a sustainable distribution yield return from investments. 

     

    Invest in a portfolio of well-known listed Australian companies

    The Model Portfolio primarily invests in listed companies in the S&P/ASX 200 Total Return Index.
