In June 2019, Perpetual and Mainstream started using Rivkin Portfolio's in their Separately Managed Account (SMA) offering that gives investors the opportunity to follow our proven strategies. Rivkin runs four portfolios that are offered through the SMA platform. Each portfolio is designed for a different investor type ranging from growth to defensive. Here you can find more information on our Global Growth Portfolio.
Global Growth
This portfolio is a blend of both ASX and US growth strategies. The portfolio allows investors to gain exposure to international companies while still retaining an allocation to ASX stocks. There are good diversification reasons for investing in international stocks.
Table 1: Summary of Global Growth Portfolio
The Global Growth portfolio selects growth stocks that are listed in both Australia and the US. As well as providing stock diversification this strategy also provides country and currency diversification. Many investors have what is called a home country bias which means they tend to overweight assets in their home country. This leads to lower diversification than what they could otherwise achieve. Furthermore, most Australian investors hold all of their assets in Australian dollars which concentrates their risk in that currency. Holding foreign stocks can provide currency diversification which can help reduce volatility.
