    With Santa just around the corner, the InvestSMART team would like to wish you and your family a very safe and merry Christmas and a very prosperous New Year.

    At InvestSMART, we are sad to see the end of 2005. We are sure that it will long be remembered as the year we launched TrailCapTM. The popularity of this free service to date ensures it will continue to build in strength in 2006 and become a force for change in the financial services industry.

    This will be our last email for the year and we will resume our email newsletters on the 4th January 2006. However, don't forget you still have until 30th December 2005 to get your Fund Dealer Nomination Form faxed into our offices on 1300 880 260 if you wish to take advantage of our TrailCapTM 50/50 limited offer.

    If you nominate InvestSMART as your "fund dealer" for your current managed funds, super and allocated pension investments before 30th December 2005, InvestSMART will pass on 50% of trailing commissions received on those funds for the next 12 months. Nominating InvestSMART as your fund dealer does not alter your current investments, in fact, they will operate exactly as they do today - with you in full control and complete ownership. Call us on 1300 880 160 or click here to learn how this free service can save you money.
