Portfolio management
With our portfolio management service (or discretionary portfolio management service as it is also known), our investment professionals build and run a personalised portfolio on your behalf, without needing to ask your permission each time they want to make an adjustment.
We believe it is more important to manage your portfolio to meet your risk objectives than to chase short-term returns, so we will design your unique portfolio to meet your individual needs and attitude to risk.
Our investment team will look for suitable opportunities from around the world, investing in individual stocks and bonds, and other alternative asset classes. They also invest in third party investment funds, for added diversification and access to a wide range of investment styles and strategies.

What we charge for portfolio management
Due to the personal nature of our discretionary portfolio management service and the tailored approach we take for each individual client, there are variables that may affect the total cost you will pay. For example, your individual tax situation, your long-term goals, if stamp duty is applicable, currencies, overseas dealing and so on.
We are completely committed to the issue of fee transparency and understand the complexity and confusion for individuals trying to compare one wealth manager against another. As such, we prefer to talk our charges through with you, so you fully understand the total costs you are likely to incur on top of our annual management charge (which is subject to VAT). However, a breakdown of our total fees is available on our rate card which we would be happy to share with you.
Once you become a client, you will be kept up-to-date on the total fees you are paying via your Investment Manager and in your quarterly report which contains a full breakdown. It’s our objective to deliver the returns you want, and we will not eschew performance to drive down the fees you pay for our expertise.
If you would like any further information on our fees, please contact us.

Keeping you informed
As wealth managers, we think about the future – whether it’s helping our clients to plan for old age or investing in companies that will still be profitable in 30 years’ time.

And traditionally, when you retire, your pension fund would immediately be used to provide a secured income for your lifetime. Although there has been some flexibility around this since the mid-1990s, the ‘Pension Freedoms’ announced in 2015 allowed even more choice but also more complexity.

IMPORTANT: Investment involves risk. The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
