Our approach
Management of Shares
Our philosophy regarding direct shareholdings compels us to look for
stable, well capitalised companies with steady records of growth in both
sales and earnings with relatively low price to earnings ratios.
We are always mindful of a client's need for safety, capital appreciation
and income so we endeavour to build balanced portfolios that address those
needs.
Securities are purchased with a long term view. All holdings are continually
monitored to ensure we are informed about changes in sales, earnings and
company events.
Managed Funds
Managed funds deliver greater diversification. We select funds with
consistent, long term track records, stable management, low fees and prudent
investment policies.
To reduce overall volatility and risk, we prefer to build a client's portfolio
around a core group of diversified managed funds in portfolio construction
. It is important to select a variety of funds management institutions with
different investment styles and philosophies that include value, growth,
large cap, small/medium cap and international.
Investment goals are achieved by ensuring an appropriate mix of growth
and defensive assets are in every investment strategy. We take the time
to explain the importance of growth assets and their characteristics. Also,
how it is necessary to adopt the right time frame where time in the markets
rather than timing the markets will work for you.
