What are managed portfolios?
Managed portfolios are investments owned by your clients but managed by professional investment managers. The investment managers oversee the portfolios and make investment decisions based on your clients’ financial goals and risk tolerance.

Why choose managed portfolios on HUB24?
Benefits of managed portfolios on HUB24 for your clients
Our market-leading managed portfolio functionality allows you to optimise tax outcomes at both an account level for HUB24 Invest and HUB24 Super (assets held directly such as managed funds, Australian and International listed securities and other separately held assets) as well as assets held at the managed portfolio level. You can estimate potential Capital Gains Tax (CGT) impacts as a result of delays from the timing of switches and transactions, and model consequences of various tax treatments (FIFO, Min Gain, Max Gain) to select the most appropriate parcels to be sold.1
Are you looking to tailor your clients’ investments to meet their individual needs? Our flexible client-directed customisation capability enables you to exclude specific investments both inside and outside of your clients’ managed portfolios. You can tailor and implement investment strategies to help your clients navigate ethical, social, or other important factors (such as employment-related restrictions on owning specific securities).
We know it’s important to offer you and your clients choice, so you can select the right investments to meet your clients’ needs. We offer over 250 managed portfolios on our public menu with a range of single sector and diversified strategies to choose from.2 Managed portfolios can be made up of any mix of cash, direct securities (global and domestic), ETFs, LICs, managed funds, other managed portfolios and more. With HUB24, your clients can hold multiple managed portfolios alongside other investments, all within the one account.
Instructions from portfolio managers are implemented automatically, ensuring client accounts are kept up to date, taking full advantage of the latest expert investment management.
Benefits of managed portfolios on HUB24 for your business
65% of advisers who use managed portfolios believe that they’ve enhanced their focus on advice. These advisers also believe that using managed portfolios has given them greater focus on clients’ financial and lifestyle goals, distanced their value proposition from investment returns and allowed them to place greater emphasis on educating clients.3
54% of surveyed advisers who use managed portfolios said that implementing managed portfolios resulted in an improved client experience.3
Managed portfolio changes automatically flow through to your client’s account. This reduces the need to complete advice paperwork whenever a rebalance or portfolio change is made, giving you more time to focus on your clients’ goals.
Clients in the same managed portfolio share the same investment outcomes, meaning you can stay across managed portfolio changes and performance across your client base.

Frequently asked questions
A managed portfolio, also known as a managed account or separately managed account (SMA), is simply a collection of investments, generally held through a non-unitised registered managed investment scheme that are managed on your client’s behalf by a professional portfolio manager.
They can be held within a superannuation account or as part of an investment account.
When your clients invest in a managed portfolio through their investment account, they typically own a beneficial interest in all the underlying assets (whether they be a direct listed securities or units of underlying managed funds). When your clients invest in a managed portfolio through their superannuation account, the Trustee generally retains the beneficial interest of the underlying assets on their behalf. Just like the direct investments held in either you clients’ superannuation or investment accounts, the legal interest in the underlying assets is held by the appointed custodian or sub-custodians.
