We’ve expanded our Signature menu on CFS Edge – giving advisers more flexibility when constructing managed accounts for clients.
More choice across the menu
With 185 portfolios now available, this update expands the breadth of the Signature menu to help advisers meet increasingly diverse client needs, from accumulation to retirement. Four new portfolios have been added, spanning key investment categories:
Retirement and income
- Russell Investments Short Term Portfolio
- Russell Investments Medium Term Portfolio
Diversified
- CFS Index 150 Portfolio
Australian equities
- Pendal Australian Shares Portfolio
Together, these additions strengthen the range of options available, giving advisers more ways to tailor portfolios to client goals. Performance reporting for these portfolios is expected to be available from mid-August 2026.
Welcoming Pendal to the menu
Now available on CFS Edge, Pendal is an active investment manager offering a range of fixed income and equities strategies. Its approach focuses on disciplined research, stock-specific risk management and a style-neutral strategy designed to identify opportunities across market conditions.
As part of Perpetual Group (ASX:PPT), Pendal combines investment autonomy with strong operational support across risk, compliance and governance.
Supporting evolving client needs
As client needs continue to evolve across different life stages, the expansion of the Signature menu reflects a continued focus on:
- Broadening portfolio choice
- Strengthening investment capability
- Supporting flexible portfolio construction
Advisers are encouraged to review the updated Signature PDS for full details.
