Investment Management Services

We offer four levels of Investment Management Services: Managed Discretionary, Advisory Portfolio, Advisory Dealing and Execution Only.

Our primary focus is on delivering investment solutions that meet our clients’ needs by providing unbiased multi-asset solutions that combine equities, fixed income and other alternative asset classes.

Our Managed Discretionary Service takes care of the day-to-day management of your portfolio. We make strategic and tactical decisions based on your objectives and risk profile without continual consent, allowing the potential for shorter term trading strategies, improved timing of trades, as well as the potential for limiting portfolio drawdown/losses. Our research process seeks to uncover global opportunities through a combination of top-down, bottom-up research to manage portfolio volatility and selective risk. This is an extremely active service with all assets managed to suit today’s volatile capital markets whilst aiming to deliver returns above market averages.
