We help our clients align their investments with the purpose of their wealth.
STRATEGIC ASSET ALLOCATION
We believe the most important starting point for the long-term management of wealth is to understand its purpose in human terms and how that translates into an investment strategy.
We spend time with clients to understand their overall objectives in both financial and non-financial terms. We encourage clients to think about how their assets could meet the purpose of their wealth to:
Protect
To meet expenditure
Grow
For the long term
Enjoy
Properties and other assets
INVESTMENT COMMITTEE
Investment strategy recommendations are guided by our investment committee.
This forum benefits from the perspectives and significant experience of the three investment teams across our international alliance as well as input from external research analysts.
INVESTMENT SELECTION
When looking for investment solutions we seek strategies where there is a clear philosophy and process, which has been consistently applied over time, and which we believe will deliver a repeatable investment return. Alongside this we require a clear alignment of interest between the manager and investors. We look for managers where the strategy is conducted within an operational framework which is robust and fit for purpose.

PRIVATE CLIENT
SUSTAINABLE & IMPACT INVESTMENT
We write Investment Policy Statements that set out a client's approach to sustainable and impact investing.
We advise across the impact spectrum of capital, in liquid and illiquid assets, using both specialist and multi-asset managers. We have developed our own in-house impact and engagement assessment and reporting tools. This allows us to independently assess managers and their investments so that we are able to support and challenge their investment and impact theses when necessary.
PRIVATE ASSETS
We have substantial private equity expertise and resources.
We advise clients on building, monitoring and reporting on bespoke private equity programmes. We have a team based in London, Madrid and the US dedicated to the analysis and selection of private equity opportunities. We also have the knowledge and experience to help clients with direct private investments.
CONSOLIDATED REPORTING
We have partnered with Addepar, a leading consolidated reporting tool, which allows us to provide a total balance sheet overview for families, available online and on mobile devices, as well as detailed performance reporting. We produce bespoke reporting for clients, which can range from equity monitors with daily pricing, to monthly dashboards, private equity reporting and performance contribution.
