A choice of platforms from one of Australia's leading wealth creation companies

Colonial First State offers you a choice of two market leading platforms to suit your investment needs.

FirstChoice

FirstChoice, Australia's most widely used platform1, lets you select and manage your investments through one account, meaning less paperwork and simple, consolidated reporting.

FirstChoice gives you access to over 110 investment options managed by some of the best known Australian and international investment managers, as well as specialist boutique managers.

You can set up an investment account for general saving and investing; a personal super account for helping you achieve your super and retirement goals; or a pension account if you’re approaching retirement or have already retired.

FirstWrap

Designed for investors with more sophisticated investment needs, FirstWrap gives you even greater flexibility. You can choose from around 300 managed funds across a broad range of asset classes, as well as ASX listed securities, exchange traded funds, fixed interest, structured products and term deposits.

All of your investments are administered through one service, meaning you and your financial adviser can easily review your entire portfolio, transact, manage administration of your investments and receive consolidated statements.

Within FirstWrap you also have the choice of an investment account, a personal super account or a pension account depending on your investment goals.
