PIS advisers gain access to QIC
Grahame Evans
Dealer group Professional Investment Services (PIS) has forged a strategic alliance with Brisbane-based funds management group DDH Grahame to provide retail investors with direct access to QIC wholesale funds.
Queensland Government-owned QIC is Australia’s fifth largest wholesale fund manager with $57 billion under management and provides investment services to public sector superannuation schemes, government investment funds and other clients.
PIS managing director Grahame Evans said PIS advisers would be able to use QIC’s products to obtain exposure to domestic equities, fixed interest, tactical asset allocation and cash.
“The funds are excellent products for superannuation clients and are well suited for investors who have a range of requirements from capital growth to income,” Evans said.
