Insight Investment fund added to Netwealth platform



Insight Investment has had its Insight Diversified Inflation Plus Fund added to the Netwealth platform.
The A$211.7 million fund, which was based on Insight’s A$13 billion Broad opportunities strategy, aimed to deliver positive long term returns of five per cent in excess of inflation over a rolling five-year period.
Insight investment’s director, Australia and New Zealand, Bruce Murphy said that the approach was based on diversification, dynamic asset allocation and downside risk management.
“We are pleased that advisers using the Netwealth platform now have the opportunity to access our institutional-quality capability which has been tried and tested for many years, including through periods of extreme stress such as the global financial crisis,” he added.
“This capability is one of Insight’s core competencies and a growing part of our business across multiple geographies.”
The Insight Diversified Inflation Plus Fund received a ‘Recommended’ rating from Lonsec Research and Zenith Investment Partners.
