Private Wealth

Investment Strategy

The Investment Strategy group comprises a team of highly experienced investment experts who are the driving force behind our Private Wealth advisory investment recommendations and asset allocation strategies.

We look beyond short-term volatility which occurs naturally in markets, and form a view to deliver a considered portfolio perspective that takes into account expected risk levels and return opportunities.

The Investment Strategy group brings together three core elements when forming its views: analysis of macroeconomic markets and major asset classes, reviewing specialist fund manager offerings, and analysing company specific research.

Ultimately this complete analysis of markets manifests in our asset allocation view for clients. We provide solutions to clients depending on their attitude toward risk, whether it be the most conservative of clients, through to those looking for aggressive growth strategies. 

The Investment Strategy group is motivated to provide the most interesting and thought provoking strategy research available in market. The team prides itself on an ability to apply intellectual rigour to the vast amount of information available, and distil it into one cohesive investment view.

The insights generated by the Investment Strategy group are available across the firm for the ultimate benefit of our entire client base.
