Managed funds or ETFs

Paul Rickard

Which has a better return, a managed fund such as Platinum International/Asia or  its ASX equivalent, or some sort of ETF?

While high growth is ‘nice’, we prefer a balance of growth of about 8% to protect the base, and income of more than 8%, ideally paid half yearly.

  • $400k in shares with 9% growth and 9% dividends
  • $250k available for some regular income producing vehicles.
