An aggressive investor might invest directly in the share market – Australian and international shares. They seek high capital growth and will accept short term fluctuations in the value of their investment in the short term.

Direct investment requires personal management and monitoring of investment holdings, as well as keeping up to date with financial market news and expectations.

An aggressive investor might normally hold a portion of their investment in managed funds, consisting mainly of growth or high growth assets ie international and Australian shares.

By investing in managed funds the aggressive investor is allowing a team of appointed experts to manage their holding in investments chosen by them according to fund guidelines.
