best of both worlds...  

InvestSMART is excited to launch the latest OM-IP fund because it invests into two of our most popular investment sectors at the moment, Asia pacific equities and commodities.

OM-IP Eclipse Limited is a new capital guaranteed investment built on a tradition of performance, security and diversification. It will access more than 100 international markets and more than 40 international fund managers through the AHL Diversified Program, RMF Asian Opportunities Portfolio and RMF Commodity Strategies Portfolio

Once again we are offering a 100% rebate of the 4% sales commission. So if you invest $10,000, you will receive 10,000 units at $1 each in the fund and a rebate cheque in the mail for $400 after the offer closes.

more tax saving tips...

You may think Income Protection is expensive, but there are many types of cover and its possible to protect your income from as little as $2 a day - or basically a cup of coffee. An added bonus is that premiums paid for Income Protection Insurance are generally tax deductible.

Just take a few seconds to think how your family would survive without your monthly income. For more information on Income Protection or to receive a free quote for Income Protection please click here.

In Focus

more Austin Exploration Limited – IPO expected to close 26 June 2006

Austin is listing with USA and Australian onshore tenements with a blend of low risk USA prospects with strong development potential & early cash flow and Australian prospects, with the potential for high reward. In fact the South Australia Yorketown Prospect is ready to drill and is the largest single on-shore oil prospect ever generated on ‘Continental Australia’ (estimated recoverable 800 million BOE target). The Independent Geologist report states “its size means that it begs to be tested”.

We have been fortunate enough to negotiate with the Board of Austin Exploration to receive preferential allocations of Austin shares (within their existing powers of discretion) for applications received by clients of InvestSMART prior to 16th June 2006 up to a subscription level of $1M. If you wish to invest more sizeable amounts, say greater than $20,000, please call us ASAP on 1300 880 160 so we can keep a registry of interest and apply for more stock quickly if needed. Applications should be sent to:

InvestSMART Financial Services
Level 2, Butler Arcade

Changes in Director Interest

We have long held the view that a change in a listed company's share registry by its directors sends a clear signal to the market. In fact, such changes must be reported to the ASX and now, because of InvestSMART's unique Changes in Director Interest feature, they are also reported to investors. Click here to find out what company directors are doing with their shares.
