PMS · A MORE INFORMED NEXT STEP
When a portfolio grows across stocks, accounts and inherited positions, managing it can become a responsibility of its own. Portfolio Management Services should be evaluated for the mandate, oversight and accountability they offer—not for an expectation that professional management removes risk.
Discuss my portfolio needs ›Capital is at risk. Returns and outcomes are not guaranteed. Eligibility and product terms apply.
FROM CONCERN TO CLARITY
A useful starting point is the problem you need to solve. These are planning objectives, not promised financial or claim outcomes.
A collection of investments may not reflect a single objective, risk limit or reporting process.
Clarify the portfolio’s purpose, the manager’s authority and the boundaries within which decisions may be made.
A demanding career or business can make it difficult to follow company events, portfolio changes and administrative requirements.
Consider the responsibilities delegated to a manager and the responsibilities that remain with you.
A headline management fee may not explain performance charges, transaction costs or the effect of entry timing.
Examine the full agreement, charging basis, reporting and net performance presentation before comparing alternatives.
UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU COMMIT
Discretionary, non-discretionary and advisory arrangements differ. Read the exact scope of authority, permitted securities, restrictions and how instructions are recorded rather than assuming every service is fully customised.
Review the provider’s status, team, investment process, concentration, turnover and reporting. Understand whether the approach uses a model portfolio and what scope exists for your constraints and existing holdings.
Clarify account and custody arrangements, management and performance fees, high-water-mark or hurdle provisions where relevant, expenses, taxes and exit conditions. A personalised account does not automatically mean low concentration or low risk.
FIT COMES BEFORE FEATURES
May be relevant for eligible investors seeking a defined managed mandate and able to evaluate its costs, oversight and risks. It may be unsuitable if the minimum allocation creates excessive concentration, required liquidity is uncertain or the service is expected to guarantee a result.
No public page can establish your individual suitability. A discussion should clarify your objectives and the information required before any decision.
Discuss my circumstances ›| Route | What to understand | Questions that matter |
|---|---|---|
| SIF | A specialised investment strategy within the applicable fund framework. | Mandate, permitted techniques, strategy risk and dealing conditions. |
| AIF | A privately placed fund with scheme-specific commitments and terms. | Capital calls, fund term, valuation, fee waterfall and exit restrictions. |
| PMS | A portfolio service governed by an investor’s management agreement. | Decision authority, custody, concentration, costs and reporting. |
Entry requirements, exceptions, tax and liquidity differ. Meeting an eligibility condition does not establish suitability.

Ask for the current provider documents and a written explanation of charges, benefits and conditions before proceeding.
Information is educational and is not a personalised recommendation, quote, application or transaction instruction. Availability and the capacity in which Professional Portfolio acts must be confirmed against verified authorisations before any product or regulated service is offered.

Explore the practical details before choosing an arrangement.
No. The ownership, account, fee and operating arrangements differ. Compare the actual service agreement and portfolio structure rather than assuming one is superior.
Not necessarily. A provider may implement a model strategy across clients. Ask what can be customised and whether your restrictions affect implementation.
Only after understanding the calculation basis, time period, fees and your cash flows. Your own experience can differ from the strategy’s reported performance.
It should establish whether a managed mandate is worth evaluating, what information is required and which verified provider documents you need—not pressure you into transferring a portfolio.
