We've broadened the Global Specialist Series (GSS) range of investment options to include low-cost diversified index managed account models, which may suit price sensitive or less sophisticated investors. Introducing the GSS diversified index based Managed Models.

Watch this video to learn about the managed accounts available and their features.

What are they?

There are four GSS diversified index Managed Account Models: Conservative, Balanced, Growth and High Growth that use a strategic asset allocation and invest in an underlying range of six index strategies. These index strategies include: Australian equities, international equities (hedged and unhedged), international fixed interest, Australian fixed interest, Australian listed property and cash.

Netwealth is the Model Manager, and we've partnered with BlackRock who provides us with the asset allocation strategy. The models invest using the Netwealth GSS index managed funds.

Who are they for?

These models can be used for both your Netwealth Accelerator Core and Netwealth Accelerator Plus clients, and are particularly suitable for price sensitive clients who are looking for a diversified, one-stop solution for their investments.

The models can also be used as the core passive exposure in clients’ portfolios and blended with active strategies.
