Praemium adds three model portfolios to SMA

Three portfolios from Antares have been added to the Praemium investment menu:

• Antares Elite Opportunities Model Portfolio
• Antares ex-20 Australian Equities Model Portfolio
• Antares Dividend Builder Model Portfolio

The models include a core Australian equity (Elite Opportunities), a yield enhanced model (Dividend Builder) and a specialist mid-cap portfolio (ex-20 model) and provide diversified exposure to Australian equities with an expected allocation of 15-30 securities, utilising only ASX-listed equities, Praemium said.

Antares co-head of equities Nick Pashias said, “Our investment process is very research driven and aims to add value by exploiting inefficiencies in the market, which we believe can lead to consistent outperformance of the benchmark over the medium to long term for clients.”

Praemium’s head of investment managers and governance Damian Cilmi said he’s pleased to have extended its SMA investment menu.

“We continue to focus on expert managers with robust processes and a proven investment approach and to offer our clients the widest choice of quality investment options within an SMA,” Mr Cilmi said.
