Speaking at a Colonial First State event, CFS head of retail platforms Sam Wall said one of the initiatives the group is planning to launch this year is a portfolio service aimed at advisers and investors.
Colonial First State said the platform enables advisers to administer their clients’ different assets.
“It’s a single solution that brings directly held listed securities and cash together with custodially held term deposits, managed funds and managed accounts all in the one place. This allows for whole of portfolio insights, performance and tax reporting,” it said.
Mr Wall said the solution will have a flat administration fee and will enable users to access consolidated reporting and a whole of portfolio view.
“We think this solution will have large appeal for SMSF investors that are looking to resolve the admin burden with direct equities and corporate actions. The solution will go live later in the year,” he said.
Would be great to also include direct international shares via the comsec international trading platform.
