About us
Atticus Wealth focuses on developing transparent portfolios for clients and advice businesses alike, designed specifically to achieve investment goals.
Why choose us
Founded in 2015, Atticus Wealth emerged as a fresh approach to investing money, with the understanding that financial advice businesses have specific needs combined with a desire to put their clients at the centre of their approach. When Atticus Wealth was developed, we focused on adviser experience and feedback to help shape the result. We created the first adviser friendly service with better investment outcomes for clients.
Direct ownership
You directly own the actual investments (i.e. shares), rather than just units in a traditional managed fund. You know all the companies you have directly invested in. Traditionally managed funds only let you see the top ten investments held within the fund.
Ongoing expert attention
You can rest assured your investment is being looked after. Atticus Wealth have a team of highly experienced portfolio managers who actively manage all elements of your portfolio including asset allocation, share selection and risk management.
Flexibility and opportunities
For example, you may be able to transfer investments into your SMA portfolio which could potentially reduce capital gains tax or take advantage of franking credits attached to Australian shares.
