Investment Management

Investment strategies

Introducing an active, multi-asset approach to investing. Over the long term, this method typically provides better capital protection and risk-adjusted returns. Our approach to diversification removes the constraints associated with the more traditional method of simply blending equities and bonds.

Asset allocation

As your investment managers, we are less concerned by short-term headlines and more interested in the longer-term risks and opportunities for your portfolios. This is thanks to our deep understanding of the fundamental and technical aspects of each investment opportunity.

Our opportunity set covers nine asset classes. These are categorised into three key investment styles: growth, protection, and real assets.

By partnering with some of the world’s leading research houses, we have incorporated institutional-strength economic, investment and fund research into our process. Our investment committee then debates each of our in-house investment ideas.

Opportunity set

Portfolio construction

When constructing a portfolio, we first determine your upper and lower risk limits. These limits determine both the types of assets that will be selected, and the proportion they will account for in your portfolio.

We conduct extensive research and monitoring of the assets are extensively researched and monitored, and employ a comprehensive due diligence process.

We then carry out stress tests on the portfolio using our risk management system, IPS ART, and monitor how closely it complies with its risk profile.

Investment strategies

By combining our institutional and private client experience, we provide genuinely diversified investment strategies with institutional investment standards. Where appropriate, we add investments to core portfolios to enhance your returns.

Our investment strategies are available in a range of risk levels depending on your need and tolerance. Each strategy can be modified to take into account any preferences or exclusions needed to incorporate bigger-picture planning or tax considerations. Our strategies are also available in a range of currencies.

Shown here is an example of our strategies that include, but are not limited to, Cash Management, Conservative, Progressive, and Equity.
