Investment philosophy
• Our philosophy is based not on speculation but on the science of capital markets
• When investing for your long term future, return is the reward for the risk you take with your money
• Capital markets around the world are effi cient; there is no advantage to be gained from stock selection or market timing
• Diversifi cation reduces risk and Asset Allocation allows risk to be adjusted to fi t individual need

Investment process
What this means for you?
• Your risk profile is assessed using a psychometric risk profiling questionnaire
• Your attitude towards risk is then put into the context of both your time horizon and planning goals
• We will help you decide on the most suitable portfolio to align to your financial plan
• Our role as the financial planner becomes one of supervision, monitoring and maintaining discipline
• It is important to ensure that the portfolio is reviewed on a regular basis, to ensure it remains suitable and provides the investment return needed for your financial plan
Investment platform
Use of an investment platform
• The Financial Planning Group use a WRAP platform to manage your Investment Portfolio
• The WRAP is a web-based facility that allows us to construct cost-efficient and consolidated investment portfolios
• The financial products you may have bought in the past - Pensions, ISA’s, Unit Trusts, Bonds - are taxed in different ways. To allow a cohesive investment strategy which is aligned to your plan these ‘Tax Wrappers’ can now be managed in one place
• Your online access provides a clear view of your whole investment position. No longer are you required to think in terms of individual products or plans. Keeping track of your entire portfolio becomes a simple task, with instant portfolio valuations
• Vastly reduced paperwork and increased efficiency mean that we can focus on ensuring the correct investment strategy is in place to achieve your objectives
