PRIVATE WEALTH MANAGEMENT
HOW WE INVEST
Our investment philosophy is to invest with renowned and transparent managers who have a proven track record over all financial market conditions, while keeping investing simple and cost effective.
Our process starts by evaluating funds based on numerous criteria, including among others: skill and experience of the fund manager and support team; longevity and continuity of the fund manager; research and decision-making process; track record; size of the fund; access to the fund manager and fund information; platform availability; investment style and fees.
We purchase further detailed specialised research where needed and consult external experts for additional input and information to support our own due diligence process.
We do quantitative analysis of the funds and how they blend together to ensure that the combination can give superior returns with lower volatility and is appropriate for all market conditions and scenarios.
We discuss our existing preferred funds monthly and compare them to funds which make up our “watch list”. We meet with the fund managers regularly to remain up to date with developments in the funds and ensure that the fund is behaving as we expect it to.
At our quarterly Investment Committee we analyse and debate the funds we are using and make relevant adjustments if needed.
