4. Stage 1 Our first priority is for us to fully understand what you want to achieve. Comprehensive data gathering will assist us to identify your objective’s, concerns and goals

5. Stage 2 Using scientific risk profiling tools we will establish your ‘attitude to risk’. We will then discuss the results of this with you to form an agreed risk tolerance for your investment(s)

6. Stage 3 By allocating capital to different types of assets in suitable proportions we can aim to maximise the return for a given level of risk for a target rate of return. Studies show that asset allocation accounts for over 90% of the variability in performance – not market timing or individual fund choice.

7. Stage 4 Here we will discuss with you the different investment styles and strategies that investment manager use to identify which suits your preferences. Whether it be a low cost passive portfolio, a managed approach or even a discretionary service we aim to cover all options.
