Vanguard has announced that, based on adviser feedback and increasing demand, its diversified managed account strategies have been added to more leading adviser investment platforms.

In addition to the Macquarie Wrap platform, the strategies will now be available to advisers and their clients on the following superannuation and investor directed portfolio services (IDPS) menus:

  • HUB24: Discover, Core and Choice
  • Netwealth: Accelerator Core and Accelerator Plus

“We are excited to make this announcement, as the addition of these investment platforms represents a significant expansion of Vanguard’s managed account offer via new distribution channels,” said Rachel White, Head of Financial Adviser Services, Vanguard Australia.

“Most importantly, it reflects the growing demand from advisers for gaining greater access to our diversified solutions, which until recently have only been available on the Macquarie Wrap platform.

“Behind the increased adviser demand is a recognition that Vanguard’s leading-edge diversified managed account strategies make multi-asset portfolio construction simple and efficient, without compromising on sophistication or performance.

“With four risk profiles available, including conservative, balanced, growth, and high growth, the Vanguard strategies offer low-cost, instant diversification with exposure to over 16,000 securities across a range of asset classes, all backed by Vanguard’s multi-asset investment expertise and proven strategic asset allocation approach.”

The diversified strategies mimic those employed across Vanguard’s highly successful range of diversified funds, which since inception more than 20 years ago have delivered growth for investors and supported successful outcomes for advisers and their clients.

This news comes as Vanguard Investments Australia was recently awarded Fund Manager of the Year – Multisector at the 2024 Morningstar Awards for Investing Excellence in Australia.
