We encourage our clients to make the decision as to whether they want a fully managed service where their investments are held by a secure third party, or if they prefer to self-manage their investments and only engage our services when they want to rebalance their portfolio.
This decision generally reflects how much investor experience our clients have, what they are seeking from their investments and how long they expect their portfolio to be in existence. We don’t take a “one size fits all” approach and encourage our clients to be involved as much as possible in the decision making process which, in time, deepens their understanding of financial markets and improves the results we attain against our clients’ stated objectives.
We focus on understanding our clients’ investment requirements and develop strategies in order to achieve these goals. Our primary advisory role is to advise clients on listed securities, namely stocks and bonds. This is our core area of competence. Through our relationships with brokers we also have access to a range of other products, including foreign exchange, derivatives and commodities.
