Investment Risk Management

We believe that the best investment advice is evidence-based, in taking account of behavioural bias, and in structuring client-appropriate portfolios, based on strategic asset allocation, where patience is rewarded, and needless costs are excluded.

Investment Risk Management

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, product type, time horizon and risk affordability into account.

These volatility levels are kown 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 volatitity within set target ranges is hugely important, as is an understanding the dangers of behavioural bias and herd mentality.

We utilise Longboat Analytics tool Fund Focus to provide us with daily market data analytics to help enable better investment recommendations, using the real-time fund data to compare individual fund performance against their market peers.

In making our recommedations will also display and explain our use of total expense ratios (TER) aa well as Sharpe ratios relevent to your portfolio, to provide genuine costs transparency, as well as appropriate risk and reward.

Investment Philosophy

Our risk management philosophy then incorporates the following:

1. Minimium Costs

Efficient tax planning, and the appropriate use of passive indexed funds together with competitively costed active fund holdings, will help you avoid unnecessary charges, whilst remaining cognisant of risk and reward.

2. Blended Portfolios

Cheaper passive holdings alone cannot react to market volatility like active and as market dips are inevitable, sufficient time to recover is essential. We construct client portfolios on a bespoke basis that include regular monitoring.

3. Long Term Guidance

Market conditions will change. We ignore the noise and help you understand the danger of behavioural bias and impulsive decision-making over the lifetime of your investment.
