Automatic Investment Plan

How does the Automatic Investment Plan work?

You can set up an Automatic Investment Plan, Cash Sweep and Income Sweep between the SDP and Managed Portfolios. The Automatic Investment Plan ensures cash is automatically invested into an account’s portfolios, as determined by a % allocation set up by you.

You must switch on all Automatic Investment Plans to activate the sweep across your wealth accounts. If you do not elect to have the Automatic Investment Plan activated from account inception, you can switch it on afterwards if you wish to have the cash automatically invested. To do this, navigate to Investing  > Automatic Investment Plan > Select On. For more information, please refer to the brochure here.
