Figures from the Reserve Bank, released this week, show the average interest rates on both three-month and six-month term deposits have dropped below 2 per cent for the first time in recent months, the lowest level since the figures began in 1982. Against this background, Smarter Money Investments continues to provide a great option for your clients who are frustrated with low bank returns.
SMI funds are made up of an actively managed portfolio of bonds & cash deposits (mostly issued by banks), with a low risk profile and a higher return than term deposits or bank accounts. The latest performance figures show why SMI is so popular.
