The investment products listed below cover equities, fixed income, derivatives, ETFs, managed funds and other financial instruments which an SMSF investor might consider for their investment portfolio. Some investment products are available to retail investors or wholesale investors, depending on the requirements of the investment product issuer. There is a wide range of investment products available to SMSF investors which can be suited to long or short-term investment goals.
Capital growth and income generation are two common ways to classify investment products, and some are purchased solely for their potential to appreciate value. Other investment products may be considered due to the income generation potential if the SMSF investor requires a regular income stream. Fixed income funds and ETFs provide investors with an instrument to increase capital value while also paying out steady income to the investor.
