Investment management

Investment management is our bread and butter – our passion

Investment management is the careful selection and monitoring of investments that are appropriate to an individual client.

The process is underpinned by a thorough understanding of your circumstances. We start with an open and honest conversation about your financial situation; your goals and aspirations and any worries that you may have. We will also explore risk in detail – ensuring that you are clear and comfortable with the risk that you are taking.

We are very proud to offer complimentary cash flow planning as it is a useful and thought-provoking process that can assist with some key decisions. We find it is often the first step in answering those “can I afford to…?” questions.

Things in life don’t always go to plan, so managing your investments is an ongoing and dynamic process. We will regularly meet to see whether your plans or goals have changed and to ensure that your portfolio remains appropriate.

If you would like to start the conversation, please get in touch.

We would be delighted to meet you at our offices, which are based on the banks of the Thames (by appointment only).

Equally, we would be happy to:

  • Have meetings at your home or place of work.
  • Take advantage of the river and have a stroll along the Thames Walk.
  • Use Zoom to have convenient virtual meetings.

Discretionary investment management

Discretionary investment management is our flagship service, where you can enjoy the peace of mind that your investment portfolio is managed by professionals. It is ideally suited to those who have little time and/or expertise to manage their own investments.

Under this service, you delegate the selection, monitoring and changing of the investment portfolio to us. It is our unwavering duty to act in your best interest and manage the investments in a way that will help you achieve your goals. 

As an independent practice, we do not have any in-house investments, meaning no conflicts of interest which allows us to put clients’ interests at the heart of what we do. We have the freedom to choose investments from across the board. We can invest in direct shares, bonds and funds to build well-diversified portfolios that are truly bespoke.

Very often we look after families, and we can tailor portfolios to the different needs of different generations.

Advisory investment management

With this option, we will recommend and provide suggestions for your investment portfolio, but you will remain the ultimate decision maker. This means that we will not be able to act on your portfolio without your say-so.

This is a good option for those who have the knowledge, the interest and (very importantly) the time to manage their own investments.
