CommSec Share Packs
If you’ve been thinking about investing in shares, but aren’t sure where to start, a CommSec Share Pack could be just what you’ve been looking for. Each pack contains a diversified portfolio of six leading Australian companies chosen by an independent team of CommSec analysts.

Here’s all you have to do: 
  • Decide how much to invest.
  • Decide on an investment style.
  • Choose a Share Pack to match.

It’s as simple as that.

You can choose from four different investment styles: Capital Growth, Income, Tax-Effective Income, and Market Leaders.

   
I can do that   

Imagine you’d invested $4,000 in a CommSec Share Pack on 1 December 2000. How might your portfolio have performed?

As an illustration, we’ll use the companies from the Market Leaders Pack in November 2005: BHP Billiton, Brambles, Coles Myer, the Commonwealth Bank, Telstra and Westpac. (Remember, the companies in each pack change from time to time.)

By reinvesting your dividends, you could have built a portfolio worth $6,925 over the following five years.


Assumptions: This graph shows the value of a $4,000 portfolio between 1/12/00 and 30/11/05. All dividends have been reinvested. Tax and brokerage have not been taken into account. The historical share prices on 1/12/00 have been back-adjusted for corporate actions such as consolidations and share splits to allow fair comparison to the current share price.
