In our last article we looked at What a Smart Basket Is<\/a>. In this article we\u2019ll run through 4 key benefits of Smart Basket investing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quick brush up on Smart Baskets <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To get started with Smart Basket investing, all you have to do is provide information via our optional filters on your risk appetite, time horizon, and investing goals (whether you\u2019re after growth or dividends).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, we\u2019ll display a handful of pre-built orders, built by wealth professionals that you can directly invest in – ranging from high growth and riskier assets to more stable and income-focused investments – across Australian and US markets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what are the benefits? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1.Focused investing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Smart Basket investing helps you to focus on the things that really matter – your why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the long run, factors like daily price moves, news sound bites, and the latest hot picks from armchair investors don\u2019t matter. What does ultimately matter is ensuring your investing is focused around your goals and risk profile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond that, Smart Baskets help you focus on your specific investment goals. For most, we grow our wealth not to simply grow our wealth, but to do something with it, to achieve something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether that is buying an engagement ring or building a retirement nest egg isn\u2019t the point. The point is that we invest to achieve something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Smart Baskets you can focus on achieving your goals while tuning out the noise and without pouring hours into research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you were saving for an engagement ring, your time horizon would be shorter and you\u2019d likely want to take on less risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those with short term ambitions, Smart Baskets of interest could include the AU Conservative Growth basket – which is focused on achieving conservative growth and income generation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you were investing for retirement, many would consider taking a different approach. In such a case, Syfe\u2019s US High Growth or AU High Growth Smart Baskets – which both have the objective of maximising risk-adjusted returns and capital appreciation might be one place to begin your investment journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Warren Buffett aptly put it: \u2018Games are won by players who focus on the playing field – not by those whose eyes are glued to the scoreboard.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.Backed by wealth professionals <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Invest confidently. Syfe\u2019s Smart Baskets are pre-built by our team of wealth professionals – based on different combinations of risk and time so you can tap into decades of knowledge based on what suits you best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Smart Baskets, you\u2019ll simply pay the brokerage you normally would for the ETFs in the pre-selected Smart Basket you choose. (More on that below.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.Time is money <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Smart Baskets let you invest efficiently across a group of ASX or US ETFs – in one order – cutting hours out of what for many is a time intensive research process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From an investment perspective, that will give you more time to think about what kind of investor you really are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
