Absolute return with a passive approach

Fairbairn Private Bank accommodates this strategy through its innovative Strategic Asset Allocation Service.  Please click here to view the past performance.

Strategic Asset Allocation Service

This strategy achieves performance through dynamic asset allocation which means important changes can regularly be made to reflect changing macro and micro market conditions.  Asset allocation is made across all the major asset classes (cash, bonds, property, equities and alternative investments) and targets a real return above risk free cash interest rates over a three to five year period.  Individual client reports show performance achieved and our philosophy is to invest into passive investments wherever possible.  Portfolios can be based in either sterling or US dollars for a minimum of £100,000, or currency equivalent.

The asset allocation process aims to select the best performing asset classes given the prevailing market conditions, both positive and negative.

Advisory Service

Clients have the ability to access our strategic asset allocation investment management service but retain the right to sanction each change to the asset allocation.  Transactions are only completed with the client's confirmation of agreement.
