We are, by nature, conservative managers who aim to preserve capital and income whilst delivering
consistent investment performance. Our investment professionals collaborate and provide input to
our decision-making process that analyses economic and political issues affecting world markets. We
aim to achieve our goal of maximising returns within given guidelines through diversification across
asset classes, regions, and currencies, recognising that great investment
ideas can come from many
different sources.
We offer discretionary investment management services to our U.S. clients (defined based on
residence, “clients” or “U.S. clients”) in separately managed accounts (“SMAs”). We do not manage
or operate any pooled investment vehicles. Our strategies and investments/securities are set forth in
Item 8, below.
Before establishing any relationship, we gather information to be able to assess our client’s needs,
including information about investment experience and knowledge relating to the investment of
assets, investment objectives, restrictions, investment time horizon, financial situation, readiness,
and capacity to assume risks and losses, and a base reference currency. We complete a Client Risk
Assessment to identify the degree of risk involved in the client relationship. We perform anti-money
laundering and know your customer verifications, after which we and our client sign an investment
management agreement (“Mandate”) that documents the investment objectives, strategy,
restrictions, investments, and fees. Each Mandate is changed when client circumstances dictate.
We do not solicit or accept U.S. client orders to buy or sell securities.
We do not participate in wrap fee programs.
