What is a Managed Discretionary Account?

A Managed Discretionary Account (MDA) is an investment portfolio managed by us solely for the benefit of you.

Your investments are not pooled with that of other investors as in a managed investment scheme / unit trust. You own the investments directly and retain beneficial ownership of them. The Portfolio is constructed around your specific needs and instructions including your taxation circumstances.

 

We offer three managed discretionary accounts and an ethical MDA known as the Crescent Ethical MDA.. These are:
 

Investors with $50,000 ++ - The Intrinsic Foundation Investment Account

Investors with relatively small amounts to invest (i.e. $50,000 to $100,000) will be interested in our
Foundation Investment Account (FIA). It offers many of the features of our other MDA accounts.

 

Investors with $100,000 to $1,000,000 - The Intrinsic Personal Investment Account

If you are interested in have an Intrinsic Portfolio Manager manage your personal portfolio the way you want it managed and have between $100,000 and $1,000,000 in assets (cash, securities or a combination of both) to be managed then you may interested in our Personal Investment Account (PIA).  Our preferred minimum investment amount is $150,000.

Please note that in some circumstances we will accept portfolios below our minimum of $150,000.
Please contact us for further details.

 

Investors with $1,000,000 plus - The Intrinsic Private Investment Management Service

Investors with more than $1,000,000 in assets (cash, securities or a combination of both) to be managed may be interested in our Private Investment Management Service (PIM). Our PIM service offers a greater level of portfolio tailoring as well as access to the Intrinsic Risk Analysis program and other more specialist investment services suited to high net worth investors.

 

Compare our FIA, PIA & PIM Services

The Intrinsic FIA, PIA and PIM investment products have many factors in common, yet do have important distinctions. Essentially, the PIM portfolio service provides a greater level of portfolio tailoring and access to investment management services than our PIA portfolio service. We believe that this elevated investment service suits clients with relatively complex investment needs. Our FIA portfolio service has some fewer features than our PIA in order to make it a cost effective alternative for investors wanting their own portfolio managed by us, separately from that of other investors.

A portfolio tailored to your wishes

Both the Intrinsic PIA and PIM offer your an unsurpassed level of portfolio tailoring meaning that we can construct an investment program and manage your portfolio to meet your investment objectives and financial circumstances.

You can access this by either completing Section 4 - Client Profile or Section 5 - Create Your Own Portfolio of our Client Account Opening Booklet.

The booklet can be downloaded to your computer or completed on-line

If you know what you want - Create Your Own Portfolio

Investors who know what they want can simply complete Section 5. In effect, create the framework for the investment program they wish us to implement and manage. We will then populate your portfolio with securities to suit your instructions.

This is ideal for investors / advisers wishing to blend our investment services with that of other investment managers. For example, choosing our value portfolio style as a counter weight to another manager's growth style.  This option is not available for our FIA portfolio.

If want an independent view

Investors / advisers who want an us to produce an unbiased, independent view of what their investment program should look like, need to complete Section 4 - Client Profile Form. We will analyze the data and provide you with a recommended investment program for for consideration. If you are using an adviser we will also liaise with him / her on the program.

Compare our managed discretionary accounts with rival products

Our managed discretionary services are superior to traditional managed investment / unit trust structures and we believe a cut above rival separately managed account / individually managed account services.

Further, we offer our investment management services at better value, to a wider range of investors than our competitors. Our fee for providing personalized portfolio management services is below the average Management Expense Ration (MER) paid to multi-asset unit trust managers and each client gets their own  Portfolio Manager who can be contacted at anytime.

I already have a self manage portfolio

Congratulations, you are part of the almost 300,000 Australians have moved away from the traditional investment approach and established their own self managed superannuation fund and more than 2 million that have created their own private equity portfolios.

If you have already established your own self managed investment portfolio you will know that the two primary tasks are investment management and portfolio administration and they are time consuming.

I'm thinking of setting up a self managed portfolio

If you are thinking about setting up your own portfolio you are on the right track.

However, you should consider the size of your portfolio to be managed before rejecting the traditional unit trust / managed investment scheme approach. There is little doubt that for small investors this might be the best alternative as the fees charged compared to the services provided are usually reasonable.

Investors with larger amounts to invest say above $100,000 should consider using our Personal Investment Account or Private Investment Management Service. We think that at around $150,000 it makes compelling sense to consider using either one. 

 

Now that I have decided I have my own portfolio what are my choices?

Having your own private investment portfolio allows plenty of choice and control but involves two main tasks.

These are: Investment Management and Portfolio Administration.

You can elect to do these functions yourself or have others do it for you. In making the decision amongst other things you need to consider:

  1. Do you have the time?

  2. Do you have the expertise?

We can help you make this important decision. Click here to see how.

 

Can Intrinsic help me set up my own portfolio?

Yes. We can also help you set-up your own portfolio and transfer assets in to it.
 

Moving Money

Moving from a unit trust / managed investment scheme

If you intend moving money from an existing portfolio of investments you will need to notify your fund management company. You do this by asking for a redemption / withdrawal form. This maybe available from their web site. 

Moving from a share broking account

If your withdrawing from a Superannuation fund, then they may need to know the name and number of your self managed superannuation fund before releasing the money to you. This is common practice.

If you are intending having us manage an existing portfolio of securities from a share broking account, then these shares will need to shift Chess sponsorship from the share broker to a custodian or if you don't have a custodian we can organise one for you. The form necessary for this will be provided by the custodian. Your instructions regarding things like dividend reinvestment plans and banking details will remain un changed by the shift.

Moving from issuer sponsored holdings

If your shares to be managed by us are not sponsored by a share broker, they will be issuer sponsored. That is, they will be with the company in which you have shares. The form necessary for this will be provided by the custodian. Your instructions regarding things like dividend reinvestment plans and banking details will remain un changed by the shift.

 

What way do I own my portfolio?

You can hold your portfolio in your own name, joint names, a partnership or club / association  or use an investment structure such as a self managed superannuation fund, company and /or trust (e.g. family trust).

If you want to use an investment structure, you can purchase ready to go products from your Accountant, Solicitor or from companies that specialise in the supply of these structures.

Alternatively, if you have the time you can establish these structures yourself.

How does Super Choice fit in with an Intrinsic MDA?

The introduction of Super Choice allows millions more to elect to shift their retirement savings away from their company superannuation fund and manage it themselves on their own superannuation fund. Our PIA or PIM are ideal for your self managed super fund.
