Managed Accounts
Watershed utilises managed account technology to run portfolios at both the individual portfolio level (SMA’s) and the multi-asset class level (Model-of-Models).
Watershed currently run four sector based SMA’s that are available on multiple platforms. These include the Australian Share (Large Cap), Emerging Leaders (Australian Share Mid Cap), International Share (Direct International) and Income (Australian Fixed Interest) SMA’s. Each has a strong track record over the longer-term and compares favourably to industry peers not just in terms performance but also cost, in addition to providing transparency, tax efficiency and timely transaction execution.
We also use these sector-based SMAs as the core building blocks for four diversified, risk-based Model-of-Models: Conservative, Balanced, Growth and High Growth. These diversified models provide a whole of portfolio solution where holdings are dynamically managed at both the individual stock and asset class level.
Income
The Watershed Income SMA is a concentrated portfolio of listed debt and hybrid securities aiming to generate an income return of 2% above the UBS Bank Bill Index net of fees.
The Watershed Income portfolio has a bias towards floating or variable rate fixed interest securities to minimise interest rate risk. Watershed believes it is often underappreciated how often pricing inefficiencies present themselves in the credit space and constantly seek to exploit pricing dislocation and invest in attractive new issuance.
