Initiating with a Comprehensive Current Portfolio Analysis

We initiate our partnership with an intricate evaluation of your current portfolio, exposing areas of potential enhancement without risking cash-flow. A recent engagement saw a liquidation of 20% of the investments in the portfolio where management fees were abnormally high, underlining our unwavering commitment to superior financial performance and costs optimisation.

Crafting Your Distinct Investment Strategy: Aligning Your Financial Aspirations and Risk Tolerance

Your unique financial aspirations and risk tolerance form the foundation for creating a personalized investment strategy that is exclusively yours. We take into account your resilience during challenging market conditions, expected returns on investments, and the appropriate time horizon for your strategy. We embody your values and preferences into your investment blueprint.

Building Your Portfolio: Diligently Crafting Strategic Asset Allocation for Your Financial Objectives

Our proficiency in Public Equities allows us to manage your Public and Private Equity portfolios internally, augmenting them with astute cash management strategies. We unlock exclusive opportunities typically reserved for larger institutions—elite private equity, venture capital, and direct investments. For fixed income and alternative investments, we collaborate with trusted external managers to ensure alignment with your tailored financial plan. As an example, we adeptly managed currency and interest rate risk in a externally managed developed market fixed income portfolio in 2016 by utilizing efficient hedges like T-bond shorts. This strategy resulted in a net return of 8% while maintaining impressively low portfolio volatility at an annualized rate of 1%.

Setting Up Your Investment Process: Transforming Wealth into Lasting Legacies

We are excited to meticulously craft a refined investment process that mirrors industry best practices, establishing a high benchmark of precision, efficiency, effectiveness, and unwavering dedication to quality. Our comprehensive Investment Policy Statement embodies our strategic market insights and guides our strategic and tactical asset allocations. We harmonize strategic foresight with extensive expertise to create a series of insightful decisions that honour your bespoke investment strategy. We ensure your portfolio benefits from top-tier investment opportunities, with robust internal procedures guaranteeing flawless execution.

Personalized Reporting and Periodic Reviews: Commitment to Absolute Transparency

We are devoted to absolute transparency, offering regular, comprehensive updates on your investments. Using bespoke financial reporting software, we offer a transparent and streamlined view of your financial position. As markets evolve and opportunities emerge, we refine your strategy. Additionally, our scrupulously designed internal controls protect against human error and fraud, with trust serving as the cornerstone of every transaction.

Mastering Risk Management: Safeguarding Your Wealth through Sophisticated Strategies

We take pride in safeguarding your wealth by implementing our customized, advanced risk management strategies and a liquidity management system. A core principle, successfully applied across six financial crises, insists that no single position's potential loss should exceed 3% of the total portfolio assets. We meticulously manage portfolio liquidity, ensuring swift liquidation when needed. Notably, 25% of a USD 100 million can be liquidated within a single day, 50% within a week, and 80% within a month, demonstrating our foresight and precision during critical periods like the latter half of 2022 and March 2020.
