Master Trusts produce strong results

The annual rate of return, net of fees and tax, for funds in the Erikesn Master Trust survey was 8% in the year to June 30.

Thursday, August 17th 2000, 12:00AM

by Philip Macalister

The annual rate of return, net of fees and tax, is 8% for the Master Trust funds surveyed. However with the petrol rises the rate of inflation has jumped to 2% resulting in a net real rate of 6%. This is an excellent long term rate of return if sustainable.

The surveyed funds increased by over $36m during the last quarter with growth funds increasing by nearly $20m and balanced funds by $125m. Conservative funds dropped by $108m. This is a turnaround from the previous quarter which saw a drop in balanced funds. It suggests a growing confidence in the global equity markets possibly as a result of the re-rating of technology stocks.

Tower, AMP and Global Retirement Trust are the fastest growing master trust on an annual basis.

Marketplace News
Alliance Capital's acquisition of US investment manager Sanford Bernstein gives Alliance a value manager at a time when conditions seem to be favouring growth managers.

Tower have appointed Sanford Bernstein as one of their international equity managers in place of UBS Brinson

There is great debate amongst international equity manager analysts as to whether value managers will be able to compete with growth managers in future or whether the structural changes to the market are more permanent.

The second draft of the changes to SSCWT as result of the rise in the top marginal rate to 0.39c have been reported back to Parliament. The legislation have become much simpler and less administratively cumbersome although there are still a few fishhooks.

Relatively few employers are offering their employees opportunities to use a superannuation vehicle to reduce their tax rate by way of salary sacrifice

The proposed changes to the Matrimonial Property Act not only include de facto relationships in the legal net but also allow disproportionate splits and give Courts the power to overturn family trust structures and pre-nuptial agreements. Should the legislation be implemented then the best defence will be to sign your pre-nuptial agreement offshore.
