Every decision we make is communicated to you via contract notes, either emailed or posted. We will send you a quarterly report containing details of your performance versus relevant benchmarks, underlying holdings and details of transactions and fees. You can also access your portfolio for daily viewing via our secure online portal where the foregoing reports are readily available too. We will also summarise your end of year tax situation as a result of your investments which can be easily forwarded to your accountant or alternatively, we can send it directly on your behalf each year.
We believe in complete transparency as regards fees and costs, investment strategy and performance which also helps to compare wealth managers.
We have access to global research so we can seek to invest in opportunities when they present themselves and phase funds into the market over time. We also invest in third-party funds to increase diversification and gain access a wider range of investment strategies and styles. Your portfolio will offer liquidity and diversification via varying geographies and asset classes.
Whilst managing your investments we can also work alongside financial advisers, accountants, and solicitors to offer rounded advice on your wider assets to guide you so that you can make informed decisions.
