A risk-based portfolio at MVAM is built to match your risk-return profile—whether cautious, low, moderate, high, or adventurous.

All depending on what you are looking for.

Frequently asked questions

What is a ‘portfolio‘?

A portfolio is just a collection of investments. We will build and manage your portfolio based on your investing goals.

By taking on the right level of investment risk for your portfolio, we improve your chances of higher returns.

We also aim to offer truly diversified portfolios. This means avoiding risks associated with investing too much in a specific asset class, industry, company or country.

Can I customise my portfolio?

We are a discretionary investment manager which means that we build, manage, and rebalance your portfolio for you.

When you first create your account, we will discuss an appropriate portfolio based on your financial situation, risk tolerance, financial experience and age.

Once we have selected a portfolio with you, the only way to further customise it is by changing your asset allocations.  If you choose to overlook our recommendations, we will discuss these with you to alert you that you may not have selected the most optimal portfolio.

We will periodically ask you to provide us with updates on your financial situation, risk tolerance and financial experience – if there have been any significant changes, we will determine a new optimal portfolio for you.

How does diversification benefit my portfolio?

It makes sense to diversify your investments because no single asset class performs best in all economic environments and different asset classes tend to react differently to the same event.

‘Don’t put all your eggs in one basket’ is a sound investment approach.

Although we would go further and say diversification is the most important factor in achieving long-term investment goals, as it reduces the risk associated with a given expected return.

Thus, diversification enables you to achieve a higher return for the same level of risk.

Warning

The value of your investment in this portfolio and the income from it may go down as well as up, and you may not get back what you invested.
