investment portfolio service

overview Cavendish is a specialist administrator of Self Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs). Our overriding business objective is to provide our clients the Trustees of the Funds with peace of mind knowing that their Fund is being administered effectively and in compliance with all laws and regulations. The Investment Portfolio reporting and administration service is a complementary extension to the highly regulated superannuation environment. Contemporary thinking, traditional practice. Cavendish has nearly two decades of experience and, in that time, has built a reputation of trust and excellence in a complex field. Our knowledge, combined with best practice systems and technology, has Cavendish accredited by major Australian and international financial institutions including banks, life, share broking and financial advisory companies. This service is for those who need daily online investment reporting and who want confidence that the administration of their portfolio is up-to-date and accurate.

i n v e s t m e n t portfolio service Many people manage significant investments outside their superannuation funds and their interests can be broad ranging across shares and securities, managed funds, property and cash. Such portfolios require considerable administrative effort to record purchases and sales, capital gains or losses, income received, franking credits obtained, dividend reinvestment participation and of course, the costs incurred. For many investors, the administrative task is time consuming and an intrusion on the time and effort needed to maximise their investment portfolio s performance. Cavendish Investment Portfolio Service is an efficient and cost effective alternative that tracks all investments, logging all relevant information on receipt of verifying documentation. Cash records, share and managed fund prices, rental and other income are continually updated while the client retains full control of all elements of the portfolio. This service is available both for your non superannuation portfolio and if needed, in conjunction with your SMSF.
