We manage in excess of $10 billion worth of assets, making us one of the largest commercial asset managers in world. We manage single-niche products and full-scale tailored solutions based on our multi-boutique concept: from low risk money market funds to private equity products. As a client, you can expect our investment professionals to take a strategic, creative approach to generating returns on your investment. We aim to provide consistent, risk-controlled performance and add value at each stage of the investment process. Our fees are in line with the competition and are in relation to the level of custom-tailoring of our products. When possible we use performance fees to align your investment outcome with our compensation. All major decisions are reviewed and documented by our teams, facilitating the continuous improvement of our processes. It also makes it easier for you to understand your business and know what to expect from it. Independent risk and compliance functions review our products and teams to ensure the fulfilment of regulations and targets. Our investment professionals are licensed by the appropriate authorities and encouraged to develop professionally throughout their careers.
At the core of our investment approach is our 'top down' look at the economy and financial world. After looking at the 'big picture' we analyse the various industrial sectors in order to select those which we believe will benefit most from the prevailing economic conditions. We then use a rigorous screening technique based on strict criteria, to identify potential investment opportunities. Following this we perform an in depth fundamental analysis based on business quality, balance sheet strength, cash flow and growth potential. This is designed to ensure the potential investment represents a secure and sustainable business proposition. The final part of our process is valuation, as we believe it is important where possible to purchase stock trading at a discount to long term fair value. Only when an investment has satisfied all aspects of this process is it considered for inclusion as part of our investment portfolios. As a firm, we endeavour to balance risk and potential reward in accordance with your expressed requirements. Each client has their own definition of risk and their approach to it. By understanding this, we look to build a portfolio that is tailored to both the client's time horizons and tolerance to risk. Our judgement of what is suitable will be reflected in the structure and content of each client's portfolio.
