With the automatic rebalancing facility you can select to have your portfolio rebalanced to its original profile quarterly, half yearly or annually. There is no need to manually monitor your portfolio or make the changes yourself – we do the work for you.

Simple reporting and open all hours Elements consolidates all the transaction reporting from investment managers and provides you and your financial adviser with simplified reports on all your investments. Each financial year, you’ll receive a comprehensive, easy-to-understand Annual Investor Report containing a clear snapshot of all your investments.

You can also view your account details 24 hours a day, seven days a week through Investor Online, which can be accessed through www.asgard.com.au. Once your account is established you’ll receive your account number and PIN, which will allow you to logon.

If you have better things to do with your time than agonise over investment decisions, make investing easy with Elements.

Elements is easy to use, has easy to understand and competitive fees and offers a quality investment menu featuring some of the most recognised investment brands in the industry, so you can invest with confidence knowing your money is being managed by experts.

And of course, when you invest with Elements, you are investing with Asgard, one of Australia’s most awarded platforms.

Investing made easy with ElementsWith Elements and the help of your financial adviser, all you need to do is set up a portfolio that suits your individual circumstances and financial goals – and everything else is taken care of. This leaves you free to get on with other more important things.

Profile-based modellingWith the help of your financial adviser, you can establish an investment profile that can help you achieve your financial goals for the future. The benefit of profile-based modelling is the ability to set your investment strategy now and continue building on that strategy over time. There is no need to make investment decisions each time you deposit additional funds – you keep building on the one strategy.

Should you wish to change your investment strategy in the future, your adviser is able to do this for you simply and quickly, via our online system.

Get there faster with a regular deposit planReach your retirement goals easier – and sooner – through a regular deposit plan. There’s nothing like a disciplined approach to saving and with this flexible plan, you can regularly top up your account from as little as $100 per month. Choose how much, how often and for how long – then watch it grow!

Simple fee structureWith Elements we don’t try and confuse you with a complex fee structure. You pay a simple, flat administration fee and an investment fee depending on the managed investments you choose in your portfolio. We’ve also been able to negotiate rebates on the fees charged by some investment managers, which you’ll benefit from if your account is open at the time the rebate is credited (which is generally quarterly).

Quality investment menuThe Elements investment menu offers a range of strong, well-established investment options. Through Elements you have the opportunity to invest with some of the most recognised investment brands in the industry. We’ve selected investment managers with excellent reputations and strong market support. Elements offers you a great range of Diversified Multi-blends, Sector Multi-blends and Single-manager funds.

Multi-blend funds are managed investments that combine a number of professional investment managers who are carefully selected to achieve the objectives of the fund.

Sector Multi-blends use a number of investment managers but invest in one particular sector or asset class such as Australian Fixed Interest or International Shares. The advantage of Sector Multi-blends is they combine a number of investment managers who offer superior expertise in the particular sector.

Diversified Multi-blends combine investment managers across a range of asset classes or sectors. They provide the benefit of diversification across investment managers and sectors, reducing risks associated with relying on any one investment manager or asset class.

Elements offers a multi-blend fund to suite a range of investment risk profiles. Your financial adviser can help you choose the multi-blend that best suits your attitude toward risk, return and investment time frame.
