The Process

We obtain details of all of your investments over a minimum investment period of 3 years, with a 5-year period preferred. Shorter periods are also accepted for review, but the longer the period the better.

For direct share portfolios and multiple managed funds, we replicate your investments exactly as you invested, down to every share, unit, dividend, distribution, buy and sell. Using sophisticated investment software we calculate the returns of your portfolio or parts therein. We then compare the returns to an appropriate benchmark.

For diversified super funds and individual managed funds we analyse the investments over as long a period as we can. However we don’t replicate every routine investment that may have been made, for example, from monthly salary contributions.

The information required is as follows:

• The portfolio as it is now.
• A list of all transactions over a 3 to 5 year period.
• Details of the portfolio at the beginning of the period being analysed (if available).

Example of Source Material Required

For example, if we are going to examine your portfolio for the 3 years to 30 June 2008, we need a statement of your portfolio at 30 June 2008, along with all transactions from 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2008, ideally with a statement of the portfolio as it was at 1 July 2005.

We prefer to use the original data supplied to you by your financial institutions in order to minimise possible transcription errors.

We Can Find the Information for You

In many instances, most of the information we require is stored at one location/financial institution. You only need to have a copy of a recent statement for us to know where to go to get the required information.
