Core MPS
Our flagship range combines the efficiency of passive index tracking with the alpha potential of carefully selected active managers. Built on a core-satellite framework, the Core MPS delivers institutional-grade portfolio construction at a competitive cost.
Each portfolio targets a specific risk profile aligned to Dynamic Planner and Defaqto risk ratings, with approximately 50–70% in passive core holdings and 30–50% in active satellite positions. The Core MPS also adopts a three-pillar approach to investing - equities, fixed income and absolute returns. The best of ‘endowment’ investment thinking.
