At the core, it’s the relationship between the financial adviser and investment manager that allows us to achieve personal investment objectives, while keeping all parties informed in clear non-jargonistic language.

Our flagship Discretionary Portfolio Service is intended for clients with £250,000 and above, where a tailored portfolio is most appropriate to meet an individual’s specific goals.

Due to the complexity around US reporting requirements, many investment managers find US-connected clients too onerous to work with. However, our dedicated US team has the experience and supporting infrastructure to meet these needs and we can provide a full range of discretionary investment services to US-connected clients.

In most cases, clients’ assets are held with our New Jersey-based custodian, one of the world’s largest, which provides safe custody and all the necessary US tax reporting.

The minimum portfolio size for this service is US$300,000 or sterling equivalent.

Our comprehensive investment management capability means we can also provide investment services for those seeking custody offshore. We have a truly global client base and considerable experience working with non-UK situs assets and non-UK sourced income.

Clients with offshore portfolios receive the same highly-personalised service as those with accounts held in the UK and their investments are managed using the same tried and tested philosophy.
