MGD Wealth Portfolio Solutions
MGD Wealth Portfolio Solutions…investment strategy aligned portfolios
The MGD Wealth Portfolio Solutions are an integral component of MGD Wealth’s TWM philosophy. The Portfolios are carefully designed to match a client’s short, medium and long term personal and financial goals. MGD Wealth’s Liability Driven Investment approach provides a framework on which its client investment portfolios are constructed and then maintained on an ongoing basis.
The outcome of the Liability Driven Investing process is the development of an appropriate investment portfolio strategy suited to each client’s unique needs.
Each of the MGD Wealth Portfolio Solutions the LDI Connect 3 Portfolio, and the LDI Connect 7 Portfolio, have been designed to assist when appropriate in the implementation of that investment strategy.
The aim of the MGD Wealth Portfolio Solutions is to provide a Cash Rate plus style of return for investors over the next three to 20 years.
The MGD Wealth Portfolio Solutions provide low maintenance, core exposures for investors looking to outsource the difficult task of creating well diversified exposures across both mainstream and alternative investments, and access what we believe are some of the best investment managers available.
The Portfolios may also be particularly suitable for those with smaller amounts to invest seeking one all-encompassing and well diversified portfolio solution.
In order to achieve their objectives, the MGD Wealth Portfolio Solutions are able to access investment opportunities, markets and diversity which individual investors may not be able to access directly themselves. Additionally, the Portfolios have the flexibility to minimise exposure to investments believed to have a high risk of delivering disappointing returns, operating within wide asset allocation ranges rather than being tied to rigid strategic asset allocation benchmarks.
