OUR APPROACH

MULTI-PURPOSE INVESTING

Our strategic advisory team divides the capital into three interlinked
portfolios, essential, desirable, and aspirational.

Each portfolio has a distinct purpose and is invested accordingly.

Essential Portfolio

The purpose:

To meet the ‘essential income’ needs of the client over the next spell out five – ten years, so the underlying strategy is designed to provide the necessary level of liquidity.

Desirable Portfolio

The purpose:

To achieve moderate growth of the wealth within the segment by constructing a diversified portfolio designed to deliver enhanced returns

Aspirational Portfolio

The purpose:

To generate surplus capital to secure a family legacy by investing in less liquid assets, venture capital, and special situations over the long term.

CASE STUDY

THE ‘SUDDENLY I’VE MADE IT BIG’ PLAN.

Behind every wealth plan we create is a personal story.
Here is one of our clients who is happy to share.

My business was my life.
Then, out of the blue, I get an
offer I can’t refuse. And I’m
left thinking – now what?
