Advance believes that no single investment manager can consistently outperform across all sectors and market conditions. That's why, since 1984, Advance has partnered with some of the smartest names in funds management - a collection of boutique and specialist managers - that together aim to achieve more than one single manager.

With over 22 years of experience hand-picking quality managers, Advance offers a distinct difference for clients through their unique suite of multi-manager and single-manager investment solutions. These include single-sector and diversified investment funds (retail and wholesale options), plus superannuation and retirement solutions.

Advance is the funds management arm of St.George and is one of the few managers to achieve a 4-star Morningstar Star Rating from independent research house Morningstar.
