New exciting ETF investment product provides accessibility for allIn a bid to meet the growing market demand for straightforward and effective investment strategies, Australian-based financial services group Lifestyle Asset Management (LAM) has launched an exciting and unique new ETF (Exchange Traded Funds) investment product for potential long-term investors and traders. The new Lifestyle ETF product, which is incorporated under the Lifestyle Trader platform, is unique in that it will, for the first time, make ETFs accessible to all investors. The new Lifestyle ETF product, which is incorporated under the Lifestyle Trader platform, is unique in that it will, for the first time, make ETFs accessible to all investors. “The Lifestyle ETF product will show users a simple method of how to choose an investment that interests them; help them decide how much they are willing to risk and provide them with a simple strategy of when is a good time to buy and when is a good time to get out,” says LAM CEO Murray Priestley. ETFs generally provide the easy diversification, low expense ratios and tax efficiency of index funds, while still maintaining all the features of ordinary stock, such as limit orders, short selling, and options. “We are excited to present our clients with another innovative investing opportunity that empowers them to make their own investing decisions,” Mr Priestley says. Because ETFs can be economically acquired, held, and disposed of, some investors invest in ETF shares as a long-term investment for asset allocation purposes, while other investors trade ETF shares frequently to implement market timing investment strategies. ETFs can be bought and sold at current market prices at any time during the trading day, unlike mutual funds and unit investment trusts, which can only be traded at the end of the trading day. As publicly traded securities, their shares can be purchased on margin and sold short, enabling the use of hedging strategies, and traded using stop orders and limit orders, which allow investors to specify the price points at which they are willing to trade. ETFs are expanding rapidly with 1,947 tradable ETFs with assets reaching US$1trillion available as of December 2009*. There are ETFs that track different markets around the world from buying specific regions or countries.

| Lifestyle Asset Management is excited to announce their position as the naming rights partner with Volleyball Australia for the 2010 Australian Beach Volleyball Championships and National Series.
The partnership has already begun in the countdown to the Lifestyle Asset Management Australian Beach Championships in Brisbane in March, with support for the National Beach Series including the Queensland Open at Surfers Paradise this weekend as part of Summer Time 2010. Sixty-four teams (32 males and 32 females) from around Australia will converge on Sandstorm Beach Club in Brisbane between March 11 and 14, to battle out the Lifestyle Asset Management Australian Beach Championships. CEO of Lifestyle Asset Management, Murray Priestley said his group is excited to link its brand with one of Australia’s most exciting Olympic sports. “We are all very excited to be supporting the Australian Beach Volleyball Tour. The sport is energetic, fast-paced, tough and thrilling to watch – all ingredients we have been seeking in our sponsorship portfolio,” Mr Priestley says. “The team at Lifestyle Asset Management are big believers in a healthy lifestyle and work-life balance and all looking forward to really getting behind these athletes and cheering them on throughout the competition.” Volleyball Australia is delighted to have Lifestyle Asset Management as a naming rights partner and VA CEO Joan Perry is looking forward to an exciting new partnership. “Our sport is one that relies on perfect partners and this new partnership is just the boost the sport, our Australian Championships and the National Series has been looking for,” said Ms Perry. “The sponsorship will provide national television coverage of the Australian championships and also inject $20,000 prize money into the event.” Ms Perry continues: “The relationship is also one which I’m sure can assist us in growing an exciting future for the sport in the countdown to the major events like the 2010 Lifestyle Asset Management Australian Championships and ultimately boost our path to the 2012 Olympics in London. “It is as a result of the relationship built up with our four-time Olympian Natalie Cook, that we have been able to secure Lifestyle Asset Management as our major partner for the Australian Beach Championships and Beach Series. Natalie Cook heads up the ambassador program for Lifestyle Asset Management, a program created to support established and upcoming athletes and sporting personalities by empowering them to financially self-sustain their careers through trading. “As a minor sport in Australia (relative to the football codes, cricket, golf, tennis) it is always a challenge to fund the level of event required to make an impression in the Aussie sports market,” says Ms Cook. “When I was introduced to Lifestyle Asset Management, I immediately saw a way to make sport sponsorship sustainable for athletes, events and sporting associations, and just by understanding LAM it is possible. “With the current economy, and threat of decreases in government funding, the smaller sports will suffer in the future,” says Ms Cook. Lifestyle Asset Management is a diversified financial services group operating throughout Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom. The group offers clients a range of professional tailored solutions, tools and advice that span the full spectrum of asset classes including equity, fixed income, currency, commodities, property, exchange traded funds, retirement planning, superannuation and wealth protection.

Toogoom island soldKristy Martin 28th October 2009 |
||||||
 The island off Toogoom, rumoured to be worth about $7 million, which has been sold. IT’S indulgent, lavish and only for the <em>ü</em>ber-wealthy, which means few can lay claim to owning their own island. Rob Wilson has joined the ranks of this exclusive club, whose members include the likes of Mel Gibson, Nicolas Cage and Richard Branson. Mr Wilson is now the proud, and “very excited”, owner of a private island near Toogoom. The 57-acre island, believed to be worth about $7 million, generated national interest when it went up for sale late last year. But, while he won’t divulge how much he forked out, Mr Wilson is clearly thrilled with the purchase and the fact he’s now part of the “it” club. “It’s pretty cool,” he said of owning his own coastal paradise. “I’m jumping out of my skin. “It’s pretty exciting to be able to say you live on an island. It’s a real conversation opener.” Mr Wilson, who also owns a 22-acre property at Toogoom, runs a Gold Coast-based business that teaches people how to trade in financial markets. He plans to set up a resort on the island, where his clients will go for trading conferences and relaxation. “We’re trying to keep it pretty exclusive, so it will only have a maximum of 50 (people) at a time,” Mr Wilson said. “We want to keep it really eco-friendly. “One of our thoughts at this stage is that we want to keep it really different … a different lifestyle experience for people.” The unnamed island could soon be called Lifestyle Island if Rob Wilson has his way, named after his company Lifestyle Trader. Right now the island, which sits 200 metres off the mainland, features two homes, a hangar and air strip, sandy beaches, native wildlife and mangroves. Mr Wilson will “move in” in December. “A lot of islands are tropical but this is more of an Australian island,” he said. “We’ve got a dozen kangaroos there, which will be great for our international clients.” Mr Wilson’s business also has offices in the UK and US and he regularly travels the world to spruik his ideas. The island is just “another chapter for the book”, he says. Within 48 hours of finding out the luxury parcel of land was for sale, a deal was secured. But the new owner has still only visited the property three times. So before any of the plans go ahead, he wants to spend some time alone enjoying his new toy. “At this stage I’m allowed to be selfish,” he laughed. Before heading back to work, Mr Wilson will spend six weeks from December on the island with his wife, Kerry, where they will begin plans for the resort. The couple’s other property at Toogoom is where they currently “store our stuff” but because they travel so often home is “wherever our heads hit the pillow”, he said. Mr Wilson says he instantly fell in love the Fraser Coast and enjoys the anonymity of small town life. But for someone who regularly travels the world and has lived on several continents, his love of the region speaks volumes about its appeal. When the Chronicle caught up with him, he’d just returned to Oz from the jungles of Belize. “I’m on stage somewhere in the world every week … (but) it’s pretty hard to beat the Fraser Coast,” he said. “I absolutely love it. “It’s nice to come home to our little oasis.” |
