Meet Ifsinvest; a non-super investment platform

ifsinvest aims to be a solution to your non-super investment needs. ifsinvest has been helping Unions and Industry Fund members with their investments for over 10 years by providing high quality and competitively priced investment services.

With ifsinvest you’ll have access to specialist fund managers and a range of Model Portfolios tailored to suit your goals and risk appetite. An added benefit is that their investments are not locked in – you can redeem them at any time – subject to normal fund redemption timeframes.

For a sense of how ifsinvest serve their clients, here is a quick explanation of their model portfolios.  Because all investors differ in their return objectives, ifsinvest have models that span the risk and return spectrum.  Generally speaking, the higher the return target, the higher the risk.

The models range from the ‘Cautious’ model which aims to deliver 2.25% return per year over and above the rate of inflation, to the ‘Highly Aggressive’ model which targets 3.75% per year return above inflation.

One of the facts of investment life is that investments go down as well as up.  Whilst ifsinvest can’t change this reality, they can focus on assisting you through the journey (the daily ups and downs) as much as on the destination (the target return). Their models are professionally designed to do this, primarily by diversifying over different types of asset and with different levels of geographic and industry exposure.  Details of these models, including their performance and what they’re invested in, are available at ifsinvest.com.au.
