Invest in managed funds

These are a bit like ETFs except they don’t trade on an exchange. You either have to buy them directly from the fund provider, or through a company like Sharesies.

Why invest in managed funds?

They're managed

There’s a person behind the fund doing calculations, balancing the investments, trying to meet an investment strategy.

Tax

The amount of tax you pay is based on the Prescribed Investor Rate (PIR) that you set in Sharesies, making these suitable for kids.

Diversification

You might have heard the advice ‘don’t put all your eggs in one basket’. When you invest in a managed fund you own a piece of a range of assets, instead of just one company.
