Wealth management platform provider HUB24 (ASX: HUB) continues to bring global investment opportunities to Australian investors and advisers, with the launch of new functionality allowing direct access to individual international equities.
The service extends HUB24’s leadership in this space, and builds upon the growing suite of international managed portfolios, first launched at the end of 2015.
HUB24’s direct international equities offering provides advisers with access to a wide range of individual securities in 14 markets across North America, Europe and Asia.
“HUB24 continues to demonstrate a commitment to innovation and we are proud to be opening up opportunities to access international equities directly or collectively via professionally managed international portfolios,” said HUB24 Managing Director Andrew Alcock.
“Underpinned by our market-leading technology, this new capability and competitive fee structure, will offer advisers and their clients access to international shares, in a simple and seamless manner with all other assets.
“Our recent whitepaper highlighted the issue of SMSFs limited exposure to overseas assets and how this was contradictory to the fundamental principles of diversification. By providing access to international markets HUB24 is helping advisers to service the needs of their current SMSF client base and opening up new client opportunities,” Mr Alcock added.
