Australia represents less than 2% of the world’s share market value and 50% of our market is made up of 20 companies that are heavily concentrated in the financial and resources sectors. As a result, many Australian investors hold portfolios that are not well-diversified.

The International Portfolio is invested in a blend of our 5 – 15 preferred Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), where each ETF invests in a different market sector to the others, thereby lowering volatility, minimising overall risk, and increasing the potential for long-term growth.

With InvestSMART’s International Equities Portfolio it has never been easier to own a professionally managed portfolio of international exchange-traded funds to diversify your portfolios and access global shares and mega-cap companies like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Tencent.

This portfolio starts at a minimum investment of $10,000. As an added incentive, if you open an InvestSMART account in the month of September, you’ll receive three complimentary InvestSMART Bootcamp logins to aid your and two others' financial fitness.
