Investment Advice
Canopus offers a flexible approach to investment advice - a full investment, monitoring and reporting option for those requiring a total investment planning service or a brokerage service for those who prefer to manage their own investments.
Under the full investment plan option, any commission or brokerage that may be received by Canopus from a financial product provider in respect of an investment product used in the portfolio, will be fully rebated to the investor.
Canopus provides investment advice covering a broad range of asset classes and individual assets including equities, fixed interest, managed funds, hedge funds, commodities and property. Diversifying a portfolio across a broad range of investments with uncorrelated returns can increase profits through accessing higher yielding assets while decreasing portfolio volatility as gains from one sector often do not coincide with those from another. Canopus investors have access to free investment advice via our free monthly investment newsletter and through personal consultation.
Each Canopus investor is treated as an individual with a personal customised portfolio being assembled to suit each individual's requirements, having regard to factors such as financial objectives, age, risk profile, investment experience and financial capacity. Your savings will not simply be lumped into a general "Bit of Everything" fund along with everyone else's. Canopus does not use wrap accounts or "nominee holdings". As a Canopus investor, investments will be held in your own name, reducing management fees and giving direct access to special issues and offers - important factors that can provide superior investment returns while leaving you in direct control of your own savings.
Investment returns are important. Although past results are no guarantee of future performance, Canopus associates operate a diversified reference portfolio comprising real investments and showing real returns. Hence Canopus investors have the advantage of genuine investment experience, not just a tip sheet showing what you would have got if you had followed our (selected) advice from months ago. Making real investment decisions is a different ball game altogether from advising with the assistance of hindsight.

Fees: Canopus will provide an initial advisory interview, lasting up to one hour, free of charge. The initial interview is aimed at assessing your investment needs and determining in which manner Canopus may be best able to assist. Should you decide to invest through Canopus, a comprehensive, written, investment plan can be produced for you at a cost of $300+GST. A full investment plan, including implementation, monitoring and reporting will incur an annual fee of 1.2% of total funds under management, charged quarterly. Under the full investment plan option, any commission or brokerage that may be received by Canopus from a financial product provider in respect of an investment product used in the portfolio, will be fully rebated to the investor.
Other investment plan options may be tailored to meet your needs with fees subject to negotiation.
