Investment Solutions

To meet today’s demanding regulatory requirements, increasing client awareness and changing client needs, Advisers need to have a robust process to ensure all client recommendations are suitable and appropriate and that the research process is robust and fully auditable.

Individual and ad-hoc research can be effective in some cases but may lead to inconsistencies in the methodologies applied and the resulting recommendations. In addition, there is the risk that such research may not be thoroughly documented so increasing the possibility of regulatory censure.

Moreover, it is essential that the review of any investment vehicle includes a qualitative process to consider the fund and fund groups used and research into the underlying asset classes with emphasis on the ability to deliver future performance rather than just past performance. This assessment will consider such areas as manager experience, investment philosophy, style, track record and support of the team etc.
