LGT Vestra

At LGT Vestra we never lose sight of the fact that it is your money that we manage. Our processes are based on achieving your goals while working entirely within your risk parameters. To create a return for you we cannot avoid risks, but we need to make sure these are in line with your willingness and capacity to take risk. As a firm that understands the importance of personal relationships, we are always happy to adapt to your individual requirements. We manage BESPOKE portfolios. Above all, we believe clients are individuals and that the portfolio should fit the client, never the other way around. When we state BESPOKE we mean it.

We prefer an ACTIVE approach to investment management. We employ a wide range of asset classes and are ready to make changes to portfolios as and when necessary. We seek out active managers who add real value to portfolios. Where we feel there are no suitable active alternatives, we will buy funds that track investment indexes. Creating above average risk adjusted returns is a key performance criterion. We will work with you to develop a suitable benchmark to measure your portfolio performance.

Walker Crips Investment Management

Walker Crips predecessors first bought and sold shares for clients on the London Stock Exchange in 1914. Through acquisitions, the company can now trace its roots as far back as the 18th century, making it one of the City of London’s oldest independent companies.  

Walker Crips is a constantly evolving presence in the financial services industry. Being one of the first stockbrokers to expand their services online in the early 90’s and spotting the benefit for their customers to have access to their own PEPs, now ISAs, they became a fully listed plc in 1996. They have widened their financial services offering with their Pensions and Wealth Management divisions and continue to diversify by recruiting and supporting great talent, such as the successful divisions of Investment Management and Structured Investments. 

As an independent investment manager, who is not tied to any existing funds or products, they can offer you transparency and flexibility to ensure that your objectives are met efficiently and successfully. They have no links, obligations, or commitments, that constrain our freedom in offering you the very best advice and personal service possible.

Due to their wealth of experience and highly qualified staff that work in their offices, they offer support and advice in the matters that are important to you, your family and even your business.  

However proud they are of our achievements and successes, it is the achievement of your success that drives them forward and pushes them to evolve to ensure they continue to look after you, and your investments.  

Ruffer

Ruffer is a discretionary investment manager with a distinctive approach to investing focused on capital preservation.

We have a single investment philosophy and strategy, with all our clients following the same approach, regardless of the size of their portfolio. Our focus is on delivering consistent positive returns, irrespective of how the financial markets perform. We aim not to lose money in any 12 month period and grow the value of our clients’ assets over the long term.

We have a strong track record of protecting and growing the value of our clients’ assets. Over the last 25 years, we have achieved returns ahead of inflation and the UK equity market with less volatility. Our approach has been successful in protecting our clients through the bursting of the dot.com bubble, the credit crisis and so far through the current coronavirus crisis, and we aim to continue this success, whatever the future holds.

Most of Ruffer’s clients are individuals and families. We manage personal portfolios, assets held in trust, ISAs and pensions, including Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs).

In an industry dominated by standardised products, we aim to be distinctive with an ethos of service. To that end, every client of Ruffer has direct access to a dedicated portfolio manager who invests on their behalf and who is on hand to answer any questions.

We provide a bespoke investment management service to an ever-growing range of private clients, trustees and professional advisors.  We have over twenty years’ experience working in the responsible investment field and manage assets worth in excess of £1.7 billion*. 

Our vision is to be the natural home for investors seeking to align their investments with the change they want to see in the world.  Our investment teams work to understand each client’s unique financial aims, as well as their ethical, sustainability and impact requirements, in order to create an investment proposition that is aligned with their values.

The Greenbank ethical, sustainable and impact research team looks in detail at both what a company does and how it operates, assessing performance against some 300 social and environmental criteria. We can apply a range of techniques to selecting investments to suit different client needs. These include screening out issues of concern and choosing investments that are contributing to a sustainable society or a specific issue, for example, the low-carbon energy transition.

The investor voice is a powerful means to influence and direct the ways in which companies are run. That is why taking an active approach to our share ownership of companies through engagement forms a key part of the Greenbank service. For the last 20 years we have influenced company performance and wider policy-making on issues such as climate risk, modern slavery and health and nutrition.

JM Finn

We look after our clients' wealth so they can nurture their passions.

Offering a high quality, personalised wealth management service, we look to guide our clients through the increasingly complex investment world to help them realise their lifetime goals. Integrating our wealth planning expertise with our investment management heritage ensures JM Finn can provide an appropriate service for your needs.

With a dedicated investment manager as your main point of contact, our personal approach allows for a responsive and flexible service to cater to changing investment needs. Thanks to a rich history of managing family investments, we can tailor our services to suit investors' differing needs across multiple generations via a generally conservative approach to investing, which typically sees us seeking returns over multiple market cycles, as opposed to targeting quick gains.

With over 100 investment professionals, we look after £9.3 billion of funds on behalf of over 18,500 clients (as at 31st March 2019).

It is important to remember, that the value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up and that past performance is no guarantee of future returns. JM Finn is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

Close Brothers Asset Management

Close Brothers Asset Management is one of the UK’s largest and longest established providers of high-quality financial advice and investment management. We manage over £13.7 billion* on behalf of private clients, families, professionals, business owners and charities.

In the complex world of money and investing, we provide clarity and a clear direction.

Our clients rely on us to look after their wealth – in many instances their entire livelihoods, everything that they have earned in their working lives. In effect, they give our team the privilege of looking after what is probably the most important thing in most peoples' lives after their personal health and their families.

We are active investors and seek to add value through both tactical asset allocation decisions and individual security selection. This process involves tilting the mix of asset classes in different market conditions and then expressing our views by selecting the most appropriate investments.

We invest according to market conditions today, but also within the context of a long-term strategic framework. Our process focuses on delivering an optimal combination of income and growth within an agreed tolerance for risk.

We believe the best way to deliver real returns and reduce risk is through diversification – investing across asset classes, global regions and types of investments.

Saltus

In 2004 Simon Armstrong and Jon Macintosh took a leap – to set up their own investment management company and to rethink some of the norms of the time resulting in these principles:

• To bring investment management services to private clients that were then only available to very wealthy families and institutions.
• To work within pre-determined risk limits so that more clients’ money can be returned over time than they originally invested, whatever the market conditions.
• To invest globally, across many assets classes, unconstrained by industry benchmarks. And as importantly, to choose not to invest in an asset class or investment strategy, if analysis demonstrates there is no merit.
• To search the world to find what they believe to be the best way to access each investment opportunity.
• To use plain English.

Saltus is an independently owned investment management and financial planning company, established in 2004. We currently manage and advise on assets of over £1.3billion. Our clients are private clients and family groups investing their pensions, trusts, investments and ISAs. Our clients come to us direct, typically through referrals from other clients or are introduced to us through financial advisers, solicitors, accountants, consultants and trustees.

We have a team of 90 people based in our offices in London, Manchester, the Solent, Bournemouth and Ferndown.

Our objective is to preserve and grow the wealth of our clients over time, irrespective of investing conditions. We do this through risk based, multi-asset class investing.

We have been successfully managing portfolios for private clients for decades, so we understand that all clients have different investment profiles and require a personal approach. In our opinion, this is best achieved by portfolio managers rather than relationship managers. Our portfolio managers work directly with you, so they can gain a deep understanding of your situation, drawing on the experience and insight of the wider team when required. Absolutely central to our philosophy is a highly bespoke, flexible service.

For the majority of our clients we prefer to invest directly in equities. We have a clear and pragmatic investment process that has a global bottom-up approach to security and fund selection combined with an asset allocation overlay

Being independent we are not constrained by central buy lists or management strategy, so we will only buy what is best for the client and their individual circumstances.

We pride ourselves on the level of personal service we provide and we never forget the client is at the heart of everything we do.

Having spent many years working for larger organisations, the three founders set-up Manorbridge Investment Management in 2018, helping to ensure we can maintain our approach to investment management, whereby we retain the traditional values of looking after clients in a bespoke and personal manner.
