AMP Capital has launched a new website aimed at educating self-managed super funds (SMSFs) on property and infrastructure investments as part of a new campaign targeting this market.
AMP Capital head of retail Craig Keary recently told Money Management the group was investing significant resources in developing products specifically for SMSFs and was looking to recruit an executive to focus on this area.
The website came after AMP Capital identified that some trustees and their advisers often limited their investment choices to direct investment in residential property, cash, Australian shares and fixed income.
Keary said the campaign aimed to highlight the benefits of investing in 'real assets’ such as infrastructure and property in an SMSF portfolio.
Trustees and their advisers can often improve their portfolio construction by considering a broader range of real assets, including infrastructure and other types of property, he added.
“With cash rates declining, SMSF investors are looking for other options to ensure their long-term savings and retirement needs will be met,” Keary said.
The SMSF microsite is designed for use by SMSF advisers with their clients and highlights other investment options that could be part of an SMSF investment mix.
