The whole FirstChoice range offers the following features:
Investment experts managing your money
Take the time and worry out of managing your money by using FirstChoice
to access a range of investment managers.
Wide investment choice
Choose from approximately 50 investment options covering all main
asset classes including Australian and global investments. You also
have the choice of selecting the investment manager yourself (the
discretionary options) or investing in the blended investment options
(where the managers are professionally selected for you).
Access to discretionary investment options
The discretionary options have been chosen to provide a wide choice
across different fund managers and investment options. Through the
discretionary investment menu, FirstChoice gives you access to many
market leading managers and investment options all of which can be
handpicked by you.
Access to blended investment options
The blended investment options are managed by a number of professionally
selected investment managers, with Colonial First State as the core
manager. FirstChoice have appointed Towers Perrin to provide advice
in relation to the construction of the blended options, including
the selection and review of the investment managers.
Competitive, simple fee structure
The fees are highly competitive and easy to understand.
One report, regardless of how many investment managers are in
your portfolio
By using FirstChoice, you can access Colonial First State and
other professional investment managers, but instead of receiving separate
reports from each manager, FirstChoice gives you one consolidated
report. This means just one set of forms to complete and one contact
point for information on all your investments.
Access to up-to-date information about your investment online
and over the phone
The FirstNet Investor website, and FirstLink, the automated phone
service, give you access to your current investment balance, performance
and unit price information and details of any recent transactions.
Auto-rebalancing your investment options
FirstChoice offers you auto-rebalancing and switching to help you
easily and conveniently keep your investment strategies on track.
Types of Investment Options
There is a wide choice of investments across a range of asset classes
and managers. You are able to choose specific funds managed by a specific
manager (these are called 'discretionary' options). Or if you prefer,
choose one or more of the 'blended' options, which contain a selection
of managers.
