Why invest directly?

Why invest directly?

Direct investment gives the investor control over those assets and investments, including the making of decisions relating to those investments and their day-to-day management and administration.  Accordingly, direct investment will suit those investors with the time and expertise required to manage their own affairs, either by themselves, or in conjunction with an adviser.

Direct share investments offer a number of advantages:

  • Liquidity (quick conversion to cash)
  • Daily valuation of your investment
  • Growth through new issues (e.g. bonus issues)
  • Flexibility
  • Safeguards/security 
  • Free and open market
  • Convenient and easy transferred ownership, and
  • Usually no holding cost once purchased.
