The company announced today the six new options were the Merrill Lynch Monthly Income Fund, Schroders Fixed Interest Fund, IOOF Perennial Global Property Fund, IOOF Perennial Australian Growth Trust, Merrill Lynch Global Allocation Fund and Water Global Equity Fund.
Asteron said the six new options had been added as a result of adviser feedback, market research and other quantitative and qualitative analysis.
