diversify their portfolios based on their needs and goals.

solutions
Portfolios are built and managed so that they are diversified by style, asset class and regional exposure.
We have 3 key target drivers:
01
Outperformance
We manage client portfolios with a market agnostic approach that delivers returns on an absolute basis throughout the market cycle.
02
Downside protection
Returns have historically been more robust to thematic shifts and fat-tail type shocks – which acts as a good diversifying allocation for a wider portfolio.
03
Factor exposure & alpha
We focus carefully on the diversification of risks and the correlation of returns.Our returns are not derived from or dependent on traditional factors.The majority of our portfolio’s returns are ‘residual’ or in other words independent from these factors.
Bespoke & Transparent Reporting
We understand that clients often have complex financial objectives and unique individual circumstances.
We tailor our services to ensure that we meet each client’s requirements, fulfilling a variety of roles from trusted advisor across their entire wealth, to standalone Investment Manager for specific niche mandates.
We are set up to be flexible and responsive in thinking, operational support and execution. We provide detailed performance reporting to our clients.
We understand that trust is earned through communication over time. We are fully transparent and encourage open dialogue to ensure that our clients are comfortable that we are fulfilling their needs.
