Consilium Portfolios

The Consilium series of portfolios offers 24 different options, including nine socially responsible investing (SRI) portfolios and six portfolios that are comprised only of portfolio investment entity (PIE) funds.

Consilium Portfolios

The Consilium portfolios utilise the best attributes of active and passive strategies.

The Consilium series of portfolios are developed from an evidence based asset class investment philosophy. They seek to outperform standard market returns by utilising the best attributes of active and passive strategies. The portfolios are highly diversified investing in over 10,000 underlying companies through shares and bonds. 

Three different styles of portfolios are available – classic portfolios, socially responsible investing (SRI) portfolios and portfolio investment entity (PIE) portfolios. Within each style there is a wide range of portfolios with different risk profiles. Your adviser will help you select which portfolio is best for you depending on your investment needs and preferences.

Classic Portfolios

Classic portfolios are constructed based on an evidence based asset class investment philosophy.  Over the long term, Classic portfolios aim to outperform a comparable mix of broad market index returns (before fees), by consistently tilting towards proven sources of higher long term expected returns.  In general, this approach favours the selection of low cost, highly diversified investments with stable investment mandates, ahead of high cost, concentrated and actively managed alternatives.

SRI Portfolios

Following similar evidence based design principles as the Classic portfolios, the Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) portfolios invest only in funds that promote increased levels of social responsibility.  At a minimum, underlying investments will exclude companies involved in the production, manufacturing or significant sales of tobacco, controversial weapons, nuclear weapons or components developed or significantly modified for exclusive use in nuclear weapons, or auxiliary services related to nuclear weapons. In addition to these exclusions, SRI portfolios also have a significantly reduced exposure to greenhouse gas emissions and potential emissions from fossil fuel reserves, and an increased exposure to companies demonstrating sustainable business practices.

PIE Portfolios

The PIE portfolios follow a similar evidence based investment philosophy to the Classic and SRI portfolios, along with emphasising greater social responsibility. The portfolios also deliver greater tax convenience, only investing in funds which are portfolio investment entities (PIEs). The only exception is a small allocation to cash, which is not held within a PIE.
