When people consult a professional adviser, it’s usually for good reasons. After all, major life decisions like choosing a pension, buying a house or making an investment are not easy. There are many choices available and making the right choice needs experience. A financial adviser can bring this experience and help with those major financial decisions, from starting a business to raising a family, from planning for retirement to improving tax efficiency. But when it comes to investing, financial advisers often themselves look to specialist partners with the relevant skills and experience to help their clients make the most from their money.
This is where Mole Valley Asset Management (MVAM) comes in. Investing is what we do and what we love to do. Our team of investment professionals has many years of experience working in financial markets and managing client money. Financial advisers have quickly become important partners with a significant number of MVAM clients having been introduced by professional advisers. We focus on what we do best, investment, leaving you free to focus on their clients’ broader wealth and retirement planning objectives. You stay in control of the client relationship, and we send you regular monthly and bi-annual reports on your clients’ performance.
We build bespoke portfolios of securities based on the individual profiles of the client, their attitude to risk, their capacity for loss, their investment time horizon and their future needs for income and/or capital.
One of our dedicated portfolio managers will agree on an appropriate strategy with you and your client, constructing a portfolio of investments to meet those requirements. Each client is assigned a risk category (High Risk, Adventurous or Moderate) which will help determine the level of risk that the portfolio manager can take and the type of investments that can be made in that portfolio.
Investments are focused on both UK and European listed securities, including equities, and bonds. Diversification is achieved through the different underlying characteristics of the securities we invest in rather than having a large number of holdings. The portfolio is therefore likely to demonstrate short term volatility higher than the industry norm. We see this as an imperative if your client is to be able to achieve consistent medium and long-term performance ahead of benchmarks.
In addition to our bespoke portfolios, we do offer structured portfolios:
MVAM believes it’s important for all its advisers to feel connected to its portfolio management team. So, we commit to making our team available for face to face meetings with you and your clients if you wish, on a regular basis.
Informing clients on how the portfolio is performing is a crucial part of our philosophy and we will do this by sending monthly reports to investors and their advisers and a more detailed report every six months. In addition, individual portfolios and their performance are available to both clients and their advisers online or via an app which can be downloaded onto tablets and smartphones.
Finally, MVAM provides all its clients with annual income and capital gains tax reports where required.
