AXA Australia has broadened its adviser product choice in emerging markets and global equities through the addition of 20 investments to its approved list for AXA Financial Planning and Charter Financial Planning.
The new products fit into the emerging markets, global equities and Australian equity income categories and were added following demand from advisers for alternative income sources, said Rob Thomas, general manager, technical, of research.
"The fundamentals of financial planning remain the same in terms of ensuring clients have diversified portfolios using quality, well researched managers.
"However, we feel there is a need to ensure advisers and their clients have a broad choice in emerging markets and global equities, areas where returns from managers can vary greatly," he said.
