International shares

Features and benefits

Direct investment in international shares can provide diversification across markets and economies. Financials make up almost half of the Australian market (42 per cent) – in fact, one stock alone accounts for approximately 10 per cent of the entire market. In contrast, on the S&P500, the world's largest company makes up only 4.4%*.

We have partnered with Pershing LLC and their parent company, The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, in order to provide you with the combined benefits of Macquarie's superior advisory services and the industry's largest global business solutions provider.
