We specialise in discretionary portfolio management

How we invest

Clients come to us with many different goals for their investments: to generate additional income to supplement their pension; to grow their capital for their family's future; or to maintain and enhance the value of their assets.

Our goal

  • To deliver the best returns for our clients' chosen risk profile

Our belief

  • Active management adds value

  • The market price of investments is often driven by sentiment and rumour. We sift reality from emotion to uncover the real opportunities

  • Being intelligent about risk is fundamental to the delivery of consistent returns. Through skilled portfolio construction we blend investments designed to provide diversified, risk-managed outcomes

Our investment process

  • We seek out short-term market inefficiencies through a disciplined yet pragmatic process across a broad spectrum of asset classes, under any market conditions
  • We focus upon unprejudiced, fact-based research
  • Our process is driven by our core competence: asset allocation
  • This is then enhanced by rigorous fund and stock selection

Our approach

  • We are pragmatic in our approach, but disciplined in our research
  • At the same time we seek to be nimble and proactive in exploiting investment opportunities wherever we find them
  • Our team-based approach relies on strength in depth, not individual stars
  • We work tirelessly to deliver tailored, replicable and consistent returns
  • We are not wedded to any one asset class; rather we are driven by a balance between expected returns across the investment universe and the risks associated with them

Our culture  

  • Is one of integrity, common sense and intelligence
  • We are conservative and considered; accessible and utterly focused on the needs of our clients; diligent and prudent and always prepared to stand up for what we believe is in our clients' best interest
  • We innovate carefully in order to improve our clients' portfolios; both in new asset classes and in new ways of addressing old ones

Investing involves risk and the value of investments and the income from them may fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the original amount invested. Click for more information about the risks involved.
