Why a managed account

One layer of fees. Your name on every holding.

Three reasons clients choose a managed account over doing it themselves or buying a fund: lower cost, a discipline that has outperformed, and direct access — to the manager and to the holdings.

Lower fees

Lower fees, one layer.

A unit trust stacks sales charges, fund management fees, and platform fees. A managed account has a single layer — ours — and we earn the second part only when you make new money.

unit trust managed account
Management fee
1.5% p.a.

Charged on assets under management. Covers portfolio management, rebalancing, and reporting.

Performance fee
10%

Only on gains above your portfolio’s high-water mark — its previous peak. If we don’t make you new money, we don’t earn it.

Bulk purchase, shared with you

Trades are executed under a special brokerage arrangement with the Phillip Securities dealing desk. Orders are aggregated across accounts, so your portfolio isn’t restricted to board-lot sizes — every account gets its precise allocation, whatever its size.

Brokerage and custodian charges, where applicable, are billed by the custodian directly and disclosed before you sign anything. No sales charges, no platform fees, no exit charges.

Structure advantage

A discipline most portfolios don’t get.

The structural advantages compound. Here is how a managed account compares with the two common alternatives.

Managed account Full-time discipline, your account
A full-time manager watching one strategy, every day Sized, gated positions — rules decide, not moods One fee layer, aligned through the high-water mark Every holding visible, in your own name
Doing it yourself Cheap on paper, costly in practice
Evenings and weekends against professionals’ working days Emotion buys the top and sells the bottom No research pipeline, no screens, no forced sell rules The real cost is the behaviour, not the brokerage
Unit trusts Diversified — and diluted
Stacked fees: sales charge, fund fee, platform fee Benchmark-hugging — paid to not stray, not to compound You own units of a pool, never the shares themselves Manager answers to the fund, not to you

See the actual numbers — the composite track record since 2018 is published in full, net of fees, on the Our Approach page. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Direct access

Direct access, both ways.

No relationship layer between you and the decisions, and no pooled vehicle between you and your money.

To the manager

Questions about a position, a drawdown, or a decision go straight to the person making them. You’ll never be handed to a relationship layer that has to ask someone else.

To the holdings

Direct market access: the portfolio buys actual listed shares, and every holding is custodised under your own account with Phillip Securities. Log in any day and see exactly what you own — not units of a pool.

Strength and stability

Built on Phillip Securities.

MissionPath is a boutique in how it invests — and an established institution in how it is held together. The mandate operates within Phillip Securities, one of Singapore’s most established broking houses.

A house built since 1975

Phillip Securities is part of the PhillipCapital group, serving investors across Asia and beyond for five decades — through every market cycle a portfolio is likely to meet.

Licensed and regulated

An SGX member firm holding a Capital Markets Services licence issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. MissionPath operates under Phillip’s compliance and regulatory oversight.

Scale that steadies

From its Singapore headquarters, PhillipCapital operates in the financial hubs of 15 countries, serving over two million clients with more than USD 87 billion under management. Client assets are held in segregated accounts, apart from the firm’s own, backed by shareholders’ funds in excess of USD 2.5 billion.
