OpenInvest has today announced the launch of an online platform, offering investors direct access to a diverse range of Australian and international portfolio managers.

OpenInvest enables self-directed investors, including SMSF trustees, to engage and choose from a range of highly credible and experienced managers, with Shaw and Partners, Schroders, SG Hiscock, JBWere, InvestSense and Clime Investment Management announced among the foundation partners.  Other managers will follow in the New Year.

In addition to portfolio selection, investment managers will provide content, information and regular updates explaining their thinking on key issues that influence their investment decisions. OpenInvest is the first of its kind in Australia, empowering investors with knowledge, choice, and control.

Via the OpenInvest platform, Shaw and Partners will offer a range of different investment model portfolios – Defensive Income, Sustainable Income, Robust Growth and Maximum Growth – specifically constructed and managed by the investment team comprised of Martin Crabb, Chief Investment Officer, Steve Anagnos and Cameron Duncan, Co-Heads of Income Strategies.

Co-founder and CEO of OpenInvest, Andrew Varlamos, said that OpenInvest has been designed to empower investors. “OpenInvest enables investors to get to know and understand the different investment managers on the platform, enabling them to compare information then choose their preferred manager only when they feel ready - when they believe they have sufficient knowledge and trust in that manager.”

Shaw and Partners was delighted to be named as a Foundation Portfolio Manager and proud to be confirmed as leader in the Australian Investment Marketplace.
