Five areas.
One considered view.

Research-led information on investment opportunities across traditional and private markets.

01 / PHILOSOPHY

Why different
investment options?

Investors have different objectives, time horizons and tolerances for risk. A single type of investment rarely meets every need. By understanding a range of options — each with its own characteristics, risks and potential uses — investors can build portfolios that reflect their circumstances.

Some investments are designed for growth, some for income, some for defined terms and some for exposure to earlier-stage companies. Each involves trade-offs between potential return, liquidity and risk. The five areas below set out how FPW approaches each.

02 / WHOLE-OF-PORTFOLIO THINKING

Wealth Management

Wealth management brings the separate parts of an investment life into one considered framework. FPW helps investors understand how planning, portfolio construction and diversification can be aligned with their objectives, time horizon and tolerance for risk.

Wealth management is the practice of looking at an investor's financial position as a whole, rather than as a collection of unrelated investments. It brings together objectives, existing assets, investment choices and risk into a single, considered framework.

  • Every portfolio carries risk
  • Diversification does not eliminate loss
  • Strategies should be reviewed over time

03 / DEFINED TERMS. CLEAR STRUCTURE.

Fixed Term Investments

Fixed term investments involve committing capital for an agreed period under stated terms. FPW presents information on these opportunities clearly, so investors can understand the term, the structure, how returns are determined and the risks involved.

A fixed term investment is one where capital is committed for an agreed period under stated terms. The investor knows the intended duration, how returns are designed to be calculated and paid, and what happens at maturity.

  • Returns are not guaranteed
  • Early withdrawal may be restricted
  • Review the offer documents in full

04 / ACCESS TO EMERGING COMPANIES

Pre-IPO & IPO Opportunities

Pre-IPO and IPO opportunities allow eligible investors to consider companies before or at the point of listing on a securities exchange. FPW researches these opportunities and presents the business case, stage and key risks in a clear and balanced way.

A pre-IPO investment is an investment in a private company made before it lists its shares on a public exchange. Pre-IPO rounds are commonly used to fund growth, strengthen the balance sheet or bring in cornerstone investors ahead of a proposed listing.

  • A listing may be delayed or not proceed
  • Early-stage companies carry higher risk
  • Shares may be illiquid before listing

05 / LISTED MARKETS

Stocks & Shares

Listed shares give investors part-ownership in publicly traded companies. FPW monitors Australian and global markets and provides research-led information to help investors understand opportunities, sectors and market conditions.

A share — also called a stock or equity — represents part-ownership of a company. Shareholders participate in the company's fortunes through changes in the share price and any dividends it pays, and may have voting rights on certain matters.

  • Share prices can fall as well as rise
  • Markets can be volatile
  • Consider your time horizon

06 / ONE PLACE TO VIEW YOUR INVESTMENTS

Investment Platform

An investment platform brings holdings, reporting and opportunities together in one place. FPW's platform approach is designed to make investment information accessible, organised and easy to review.

An investment platform is a service that allows investors to hold, manage and view a range of investments through a single structure. Rather than dealing separately with each investment, the platform acts as a central point for transactions, administration and reporting.

  • Platform access is subject to eligibility
  • Platform features may vary
  • Review all terms of use
