In detail

If you want to accelerate growth, it’s important to look beyond these shores and add international shares to your investment portfolio. Most investors’ experience with global markets is limited to managed funds. Macquarie gives you the opportunity to gain direct access to offshore equity markets.

Direct investment in international shares provides diversification across markets and economies.

You also gain access to sectors that are not available in the New Zealand and market, such as aerospace, automobiles, microchip technology and pharmaceuticals.

Our international equity advisers offer personal advice and our extensive research empowers you to make informed and intelligent decisions.

At a glance:

• Trade on a wide range of major global exchanges including the US, Europe and Asia
• Settle on a wide range of country exchanges via a multi-currency account
• Access competitive foreign exchange rates for settlement of your trades
• Trade US Exchange Traded Options (ETOs) and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
• Receive full administrative support

Things to consider

The New Zealand share market represent less than 1% of the total capitalisation of world equity markets*. Why limit yourself to New Zealand? There’s a whole world out there.
