	PRIVATE WEALTH: ACHIEVING CONSISTENT GROWTH IN A WORLD OF UNPRECEDENTED VOLATILITY
	In today's investment environment, high volatility has become a fact of life. Whether or not past market patterns have been excessive or abnormal, very few would expect that the high risk component of investing will actually be reduced in the coming years.
	Radical changes and global crises since 2008 and earlier have re-shaped the expectations of the individual investor - and continue to do so. As is often remarked, "the 12% annual return of the past is the 5 or 6% of today"... Increasingly, the very wealthy seek to diversify a meaningful portion of their financial assets into new geographies and new types of higher-return opportunities -- but not at the expense of a higher-risk scenario. As it always has been, preservation is the investor's first imperative: in less than ten years, both the 2001-2002 bubble and the 2008-2009 markets crisis have shown us how this preservation imperative can be placed in enormous jeopardy.
	In such a climate, effective diversification is our core mission -- and our unique business proposition.
	Gainsborough Capital has chosen a very select group of world-class investment managers here and overseas. Their compatibility with our own fundamental proposition is the key to our success record. With us, our clients will select the manager or mix of managers who best fit their situation and objectives. Among those best-of-class names, a few stand out as Gainsborough Capital's closest working relationships: Offshore, Hottinger & Partners S.A. (www.hottingerandpartners.com), based in Geneva, Switzerland, is a member of the privately held Hottinger Group, bankers since 1786. Owned since its creation by one of Europe's oldest private banking families, the group is known for its tradition of global investing for the wealthy. The investment strategy is built upon fully open architecture, global diversification and absolute-return investing, and the performance record is superior. Other offshore trust and estate planning services and structures are also available. Onshore (but not "U.S.-centric" in its approach), our preferred investment manager is a 75-year old top-ranked firm established in Southern California, with managed assets in excess of $1.4 billion. Well known for its fundamental research capabilities, the firm is as committed to worldwide diversification as we are: their multi-country, multi-asset, multi-style and multi-manager strategy continues to be the key to their record of superior performance over decades of business cycles.
	Gainsborough Capital's role is to ensure at all times that the profiles of our clients' portfolios are in harmony with our client's changing situations. We are directly involved in our client's asset allocation process with the selected manager/s. And on a continuing basis, we actively oversee re-allocation and results, and maintain a discipline of dialogue with both clients and managers - and between client and manager. This ongoing communication is another key to the success of both our investment advice and our client relationships.
