Providing you with tailored investment advice
When we deliver investment advice, it’s tailored to you.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to investing. Your wealth should be invested and maintained with your aspirations and circumstances in mind. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t fundamental principles that all investors can benefit from. These are what make up our investment philosophy.
- Choosing the right risk profile: How much risk should you take when investing? There’s no right answer to this question, it should take into account your situation, as well as your overall attitude to risk. It’s important you feel comfortable with both the level of risk you’re taking and the amount of volatility you can expect.
- Focusing on long-term goals: Investing shouldn’t be used for short-term goals. Ideally, you should invest with a minimum time frame of five years. This allows for the peaks and troughs of investment volatility to smooth out. How long you intend to invest for will also influence your risk profile and other factors.
- Creating well-balanced portfolios: When it comes to investing, you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket. Whatever your investment goals are, diversifying your portfolio is essential. This means holding a range of assets in terms of type, geographical location, size and industry.
- Regular reviews: Whilst it’s important to keep a long-term outlook in mind when investments experience volatility, regular reviews should be part of your ongoing investment advice. It’s an opportunity to see if your investment strategy still aligns with your plans and how changing regulation may have an impact.
Considering the above along with your wider financial plan should give you confidence in your investment proposition. You’ll benefit from our in-house specialists and carefully chosen third parties when seeking investment advice with us. This means our financial advisers can focus on what they’re good at, providing financial planning solutions that help you achieve your goals, whilst experts manage your portfolio.
When working with us, you can take advantage of the FD Dynamic Portfolios[1]. These are investment portfolios that have been carefully designed to balance investment risk with returns to help you achieve your financial goals, taking into account your attitude to risk, time frame and capacity for loss. What’s more, our Clearview platform is an online portal that allows you to view your investments, which we manage on your behalf, all conveniently in one place. The combination of our investment advice and tools has led to, what we believe is, one of the widest and well-researched market-leading restricted investment propositions to give you confidence.
We also offer the FD Sustainable Dynamic Portfolios, which offer the same benefits as the FD Dynamic Portfolios range, but take into consideration environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria, providing an extra layer of risk management.
