The fundamental tenets of creating investment products are simple: Start with quality assets which align to stated investment objectives. House these assets within an appropriate structure. Manage the assets in an open, transparent way with experienced professionals acting as careful stewards of investor capital.
For more than 35 years, traversing moments of great market volatility, La Trobe Financial’s portfolio accounts have consistently generated low volatility investment returns. And the volatility in markets throughout recent months serves as yet another reminder of the value of these investments: These are exactly the moments investments like ours are created for.
The United States and all its news, culture, entertainment, politics and business influences are never far from everyday life in Australia.

The backbone of the U.S. economy isn’t Wall Street – it’s the 200,000-plus middle market companies quietly driving one-third of American jobs and 40% of its GDP. These businesses form the engine room of American growth, and now investors can tap directly into their momentum.

Every so often, pivotal moments occur that shift a company or sector. Back in 1952, La Trobe Financial was founded when institutional investment was sourced to provide loans to returned servicemen to purchase a home. These were high quality borrowers who could demonstrate employment or running a successful business but were falling short on strict bank guidelines relating to continuity of income or level of savings.
