Australian-first portfolio service launched

Enjoy direct fixed income ownership with professional management

Rocket launch

I am pleased to inform you that FIIG has launched a ground-breaking new service - the Managed Income Portfolio Service - which will make it much easier to manage a direct fixed income portfolio.

The Managed Income Portfolio Service (MIPS) allows you to retain control of your fixed income portfolio’s investment strategy while delegating all of its day-to-day management to our experienced funds management team. This is a common service in equity markets however, is a first for fixed income markets.

This means you can continue to enjoy the many benefits of direct bond ownership, including reliable income and complete transparency, while greatly cutting your administration burden.

If you take advantage of MIPS you will enjoy:

  • Full professional investment management, by delegating the day-to-day running of your portfolio of fixed income securities to our experts
  • Simple and direct ownership with no structuring, meaning you have direct beneficial ownership of the portfolio of fixed income securities via your own custody account
  • Regular and timely income
  • Full transparency, with details of your portfolio’s performance, valuations, transactions and income all available online
  • A simpler life. You receive your fixed income portfolio management, administration, reporting and custody in one place
  • Less time spent on administration. FIIG receives and administers any notices and corporate actions related to your investments
  • Portfolio Diversification. Each Managed Portfolio Account will be invested in a minimum number of fixed income securities, as specified in your selected Investment Program
  • A simple and clear fee structure 

The new MIPS offering has been developed as a result of feedback from investors and advisers who understand and enjoy the benefits of direct ownership of bonds but would like the added benefits that come with having a professional investment manager monitoring their investments and making the day-to-day portfolio management decisions.

It is currently available to wholesale investors with a minimum investment amount of $250,000.
