Nikko AM gains greater penetration through HUB24
Advisers will be able to access the Nikko Asset Management (AM) Tyndall Australian Share Concentrated Portfolio through HUB24's Invest and Super solutions.
Nikko AM Australia managing director, Sam Hallinan, said the addition of the portfolio through HUB24's platform demonstrated strong ongoing investor demand for high quality, total return equities strategies.
"As a leading wealth management platform with broad dealer group coverage, HUB24 allows us to extend the options available for financial advisers and investors to access our investment strategies," he said.
"Our discussions with advisers and investors have shown an increasing focus on total returns and strategies that are managed in a risk-aware manner.
"Because of its concentrated nature and more mid-cap bias, this strategy can offer diversification benefits such as having lower correlation to the market or to other equity strategies."
