Investment strategy

Your firm’s investment strategy will be a key part of your client service proposition and under the proposed Retail Distribution Review (RDR) will become increasingly important.

Whatever the shape of your proposition the research, analysis and selection process that you adopt will help define the advice you provide to your clients; without applying proper due diligence and ongoing monitoring your firm may face unnecessary regulatory risks. You may also fail to meet some of the tenets of the FSA’s Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) initiative.

But constructing and maintaining a robust investment process need not be time consuming and costly as an increasing number of firms have found by outsourcing these tasks to specialist firms such as ours rather than continue to do this in-house.

We firmly believe that by appointing us you will:

• Free up valuable time to build and enhance client relationships;
• Be able to be proactive by alerting clients in advance of issues and opportunities;
• Reduce regulatory risk in your business and meet your requirements under TCF;
• Deliver added capital value.
