Investment Risk Management

Our risk management philosophy centres on our all-weather monitored approach to investing. Working with multiple fund managers and fund strategies, we focus on capital growth with active risk mitigation, seeking to deliver more steady and consistent returns, whilst safeguarding capital across market cycles.

Investment Risk Profiling

All financial advisors must carry out an investment risk profile analysis, prior to recommending any suitable investment strategy for their clients.

This risk and reward profiling is to help place clients within their appropriate investment volatility level (risk rating), taking plan type, time horizon and risk affordability into account.

These volatility levels are known as ESMA risk ratings, and play an important role in advising clients, but this is just the first layer to robust investment risk management.

Managing long-term volatility within set target ranges is hugely important, as is an understanding the dangers of behavioural bias, recency bias and herd mentality.

We utilise robust analytic tools to provide us with daily market data, to help enable better investment recommendations, using this real-time fund data to compare individual fund performance and value, against market peers.

In making our recommendations we will also display and explain our use of Total Expense Ratios (TERs) as well as Sharpe Ratios, relevant to your portfolio. This provides genuine cost transparency, as well as appropriate risk and reward structures.

Investment Philosophy

Our investment philosophy is not only about employing appropriate asset diversification, but highly strategic fund manager blending.

We have an active bias, but leverage passive cost-savings, where market conditions allow and always employ both growth and value stock considerations.

Every portfolio is aligned with its investment time horizon, but for those higher risk investors, you can also choose to employ a level of built-in downside protection (put options), as well as currency hedging as required.

1. Minimium Costs

Over your investment time horizon, the appropriate use of passive indexed funds, together with competitively costed active fund holdings, will help you avoid unnecessary charges.

2. Blended Portfolios

Cheaper passive holdings alone, cannot react to market volatility like active can, and as market dips are inevitable, sufficient time to recover is essential. We construct client portfolios on a bespoke basis, but with active bias.

3. Long Term Guidance

Market conditions will change. We actively monitor macro economic conditions, and when needed, will rebalance your investment, we will also help you understand the danger of behavioural bias and impulsive decision-making in any market cycle.
