QuietGrowth

QuietGrowth was founded in 2014 by Dilip Sankareddy and Krupakar Chinnasani to manage a risk-optimized and diversified portfolio of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) with low expense ratios on their clients’ behalf. Investors can invest with the company in Individual, Joint, Trust, as well as SMSF accounts.

QuietGrowth provides up to five low to high-risk portfolios. Investors can earmark part of their savings for different risk profiles. For instance, you could choose a medium risk profile if you intend to build wealth toward the payment of tuition in future. On the other hand, you can go with a high-risk profile if what you are aiming to do is build wealth toward a well-off retirement. Quiet Growth accepts international clients, with the exception of US investors.

Exchange Platform

QuietGrowth manages clients’ investments on Saxo Capital Markets, a fully licensed and regulated broker that specializes in online trading and investment across global financial markets. Saxo Capital Markets is heavily regulated in many countries, including Denmark, its home country.

The partnership means that QuietGrowth maintains brokerage accounts for all its clients on the Saxo Capital Markets platform. As a result, Saxo Capital Markets has a third-party authorization on all Quiet Growth clients’ accounts. In addition, Quiet Growth provides a mobile robo advice Android app and iOS app. Users can download the app from the Google Play Store for Android devices and the Apple App Store for iOS devices.

Security and Fairness

ETFs in Australia are regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). The central authority regulates ETFs as registered “managed investment schemes” (MIS). As a result, Quiet Growth is governed by a detailed and strict set of rules concerning assets management. Also, Saxo Capital Markets, Quiet Growth’s partner, has elected Saxo Bank as the custodian to hold Quiet Growth’s securities on behalf of Saxo Capital Markets in an omnibus account, which is classified as a client trust account.

Further, Saxo Capital Markets holds QuietGrowth’s client funds in a pooled segregated client trust account managed by HSBC Bank, Australia. The segregated client account is kept separate from Saxo Capital Market’s own funds and assets. Despite client money being pooled together in the segregated account, Saxo Capital Markets will not use funds deposited by/belonging to one investor to meet the loss of another investor.

Conclusion

QuietGrowth is a reliable online investment management service. The organization assists investors by making the most profitable investment decisions on their behalf. Its low minimum balance requirement of $2,000 is also a plus for the company. Quiet Growth has managed to be everything you would expect a reputable investment management company to be since it launched.
