Investing is a lot like exercising. It requires effort and discipline to achieve long term results. And just like exercising, it helps if you have a strong “core” to balance your activities and reduce the risk of hurting yourself (or your portfolio).

Many of our clients use Six Park as the core element of their investment strategy. This basically sees them allocate a large portion of their investable assets with us, using our service to build a foundation portfolio which is low cost, globally diversified and professionalised managed. They then allocate smaller, “satellite” investments around this core, perhaps across their own preferred individual shares, managed funds or alternative assets.

This “core-satellite” approach can be a useful way to build a portfolio which is underpinned by a diversified, cost-effective and risk/return optimised platform – but which still allows investors to “dabble” in markets and across opportunities of interest without adding excessive risk exposures.

Of course, this approach may not be appropriate for everyone, especially if you are just starting out on your wealth generation journey and don’t have the time, experience or desire to manage a portion of your money yourself. After all, satellite investment strategies can add additional risk and volatility to a portfolio, as well as potentially higher fees, costs and taxes.

Nonetheless, If you are thinking about establishing or growing your core portfolio, we believe Six Park offers a genuinely unique platform.
