Our Approach
Institutional Quality
Our investment background comes from running very successful unit trusts, pension funds and portfolios. Our investment director was nominated for Citywire UK All Companies Fund Manager of the Year 2005. The portfolios are run using the sophisticated skill set required to run large sums of money (£10m+).
Find Out MoreGood Value
We think our clients should be able to see the total charges, including taxes, that they are paying for our services. We like to use low cost vehicles, such as ETFs, investment trusts and direct securities to lower the total cost of ownership. Honesty over costs is at the heart of our business relationship with our clients.

We understand our clients requirements as a result of an exhaustive dialogue that is always open. We want to see our clients at least once a year, and be available to respond to their changing circumstances. Ours is a friendly and open service, that puts the customer first.
