50/50 offer ends today...  Email this newsletter to a friend...

TrailCapTM 50/50 ends today, 31 August 2006, and as the name suggests, this means we will share with you 50% of the commissions we receive from your managed investments.

To relieve the pressure in getting the forms back to us so that you don’t miss out on the 50/50 offer, we have date stamped the Fund Broker Nomination Form, and as long as you download this form and send it back, you will still be able to participate in this generous offer.

If you have managed funds, no matter if you bought them through an adviser, a wrap platform or another broker, you should download this form. Most likely we will pay you some money for simply filling it in and nominating us as your fund broker on your current managed funds, superannuation or allocated pension. Better still this is a completely free service.

Your investments do not change; you do not have to switch funds or anything like that. By filling in a one page Fund Broker Nomination Form, you are simply telling your fund manager that we are now your broker/adviser. The fund manager will most likely pay us ongoing commissions, which we will share with you!!

The InvestSMART Team

Click here to find out what company directors are doing with their shares.
