We are committed to providing excellent client advice, service and fulfilling clients’ investment expectations. We want to build relationships with our clients which endure a lifetime and are truly valued. To enable us to achieve this, a consultant will have a very small number of client relationships, allowing us to properly look after every single client.
As a local branch of Raymond James, we can take pro-active investment management decisions. If there is a sudden change in investment market conditions, we can make rapid and significant adjustments to the assets held in a portfolio at short notice. We are small and nimble and we are not subject to liquidity constraints.
RISK AND REWARD
Whilst there is a strong link between risk and reward this is not always true, especially at different moments in time. By taking single point of risk investment decisions, risk is greatly enhanced. By diversifying across numerous holdings and asset groups, risk can be significantly reduced whilst achieving smoother investment returns.
DIVERSIFICATION
We look to diversify our client portfolios across numerous asset classes as well as by sub-categories and themes. Commonly held asset classes include Equities, Fixed Interest Securities, Commodities, Commercial Property, Hedge Funds and Cash. These are allocated globally with further diversification being related to market capitalisation, global trends and themes. Our asset allocation classifications effectively diversify across 17 asset groups.
MANAGEMENT
Many investment houses declare themselves as either investors in actively managed funds or passive funds. The only thing we are really interested in is whether the investment in question representsa good investment opportunity for our clients. Both active managed funds and passive funds have their attractions, and we utilise both to achieve the desired investment outcomes for our clients.
FINANCIAL PLANNING
Your Wealth Plan is the scaffolding upon which a successful investment strategy is constructed. Not all financial planning products allow all types of investments to be held. Therefore, a decision on the appropriate financial planning products and tax structures needs to be made and balanced with the intended investment approach. This can also include existing assets held.
SECURITY
Clients utilising Raymond James, Chamberlain Square’s wealth management services will benefit from the added security of all managed holdings being held under the custody of BNY Pershing.
BNY Pershing is a member of the London Stock Exchange and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
COST TRANSPARENCY
It is important that clients fully understand all the costs of investing through our managed portfolio service. In order to maintain the trust we have earned, we are entirely upfront and transparent when it comes to costs.
We do not shy away from our charges as we strongly believe they reflect the ‘added value’ throughout the investment process.
The value of investments, and the income derived from them, can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than invested. Past performance is not a reliable guide to future returns.
