“Hi
I appreciate the idea but there seems so much to be aware of before jumping, so I'll first put a toe in the water. Hopefully, I will get time with a bit of energy remaining in the batteries over the next while for research. So far I feel quite positive, judging from the quality of the articles on your site.
Cheers”
“Investments: funds are mediocre, not high-performance - barely matching the indexes.
The platform is ok, it has basic tracking features and some insights/functionality. It could do with automation/integration with external accounts (eh there are/were other platofrms that auto-integrate with other accounts and auto-update balances)”
“I am happy overall but find it hard to track how my investments are going. there are the generic overall emails but i would like more specific information.”
“Actually I have become a bit disappointed in InvestSmart. I moved all our money into the Balanced fund but the balance still has not recovered to what it was even once! Our other investments have recovered and doing OK.
To be honest, I'm thinking of reducing the balance of our account there.”
“I think Investsmart have a good public profile and Alan Kohler always makes sense, but I think I had bigger expectations with the portfolio investment that have not yet been met. It's early days, I guess. Just seems like you guys really just want to send more marketing material to up-sell me. Starting to remind me of the Motley Fool mob a bit.”
“Reports & Investing articles on the Investsmart site should be free to investors. Charging investors for these items is akin to price gouging.Performance is average, better value & returns can now be found elsewhere”
