The minimum is $50,000. This is to ensure you have enough exposure in all the core asset classes before introducing specific market interests.
How were satellite options (Stockspot Themes) selected?

Stockspot Themes enable you to choose areas of the market you want a greater focus on in your portfolio offering you more control and personalisation. For example you might want additional exposure to certain geographic regions (such as China or the U.S.), asset classes (global property or bonds), or market factors (small companies, dividend shares or socially responsible shares).
