About Our Company
Our firm

We also work closely with other professional firms, so as to be able to offer clients a holistic “trusted adviser” service.

Our business specialisations
Among our business specialisations are investment advice for pension funds / trustees / private clients / investment of personal injury awards and court of protection / financial solutions for estate planning / and advice to the elderly.

Our investment philosophy
Our investment approach centres on achieving diversification and the minimisation of risk by allocating funds between different asset classes – principally UK and global equities and bonds, property, commodities, structured products and cash. According to market conditions, we utilise both collective investment funds and passive investment media and are able to provide our clients with instant on-line valuations. When appropriate, particularly in relation to larger portfolios, we work with external discretionary portfolio managers who satisfy our rigorous due diligence selection criteria.
