Why Invest in Managed Funds?

Managed funds provide diversification. For example if you want to invest in shares but only have $1,000, you are usually limited to buying only a few companies. If those companies perform badly, you could risk losing much of your money. However if you invest in equity funds, depending on the fund’s strategy, you may have an interest in 20 to 100 or more different companies.

You can also choose managed funds that reflect your desire for returns taking into account your risk tolerance. For example, equity funds are usually higher risk compared to fixed interest managed funds, but they often have a higher return over the long term.
