La Trobe Financial is pleased to announce the availability of its 12 Month Term Account on the BT Panorama investment menu. With a strategy of investing in Australian Real Estate Private Credit, and now at c.$8.5 billion in AUM, the investment option enjoys support from across the market, including over 3,700 financial advisers.
Following significant adviser demand, joining the BT Panorama investment menu continues the ongoing path of growth for the strategy. La Trobe Financial Chief Investment Officer, Chris Paton, stated: “We are excited to confirm the inclusion of our 12 Month Term Account onto the BT Panorama investment menu.
“As a strategy with a 22-year track record of zero investor losses and flawless liquidity management, we are pleased to make the 12 Month Term Account available to more investors and advisors.”1
The addition gives Australia’s financial advisers access to a wider range of products. La Trobe Financial Head of Distribution, Michael Watson, added: “The addition meets significant demand from within our 3,700-strong adviser network. This means that our 12 Month Term Account is now on the investment menus of all major investment platforms. We are looking forward to continuing to work closely with BT and advisers across the market.”
The 12 Month Term Account (APIR: LTC0002AU) has been made available on BT Panorama for IDPS investors, and for Superannuation investors with a holding limit of 20%.
In welcoming the addition, BT’s Head of Distribution Jason Brown commented: “With around $136 billion in Funds Under Administration and 345,500 customer accounts on BT’s platforms, we can see and understand real-time trends in asset allocations across a large segment of advised clients. A clear repositioning towards defensive income assets that have the potential to deliver a real income return is underway. We are always looking to expand our investment menu and recognise there is demand for exposure to Australia’s real estate private credit. The addition of La Trobe Financial’s 12 Month Term Account to BT Panorama supports this.”
