Statement of Investment Principles

This “Statement of Investment Principles” outlines the eight key aspects of how I seek to invest and manage client’s money. These principles shape the advice I provide to meet long-term investment goals.

Understanding Risk – What does risk mean to you?

Balancing the risk you are willing to accept with the investment returns you need to meet your investment objectives will help determine which investments to choose.

What attitude to investment risk should I adopt?

The lessons are twofold. Firstly, deciding on a medium to longer-term strategy backed by a prudent cash reserve. Secondly, not being distracted by short-termism part way through that longer journey.

I have received a lump sum, should I invest it?

Your inclination is just to leave the money on deposit because investing is too risky. Risk means different things to different people and, if you've never invested before, the prospect looks scary.

What is an Individual Savings Account (ISA)?

An Individual Savings Account (ISA) is a “wrapper” for cash and/or investments which confers some valuable tax benefits to UK resident savers and investors.

Funding for University

An investment – lump sum or regular savings - into an offshore bond written under a Discretionary Trust could be a particularly attractive way of pre-funding these costs.

Trust Investment: What you need to know as a Trustee

Unlike investing money for yourself, where caveat emptor – “let the buyer beware” – applies, investing as a Trustee is governed by a whole series of rules and regulations, which you ignore at your peril.
