| GAINSBOROUGH CAPITAL'S UNIQUE PROPOSITION |
| Irrespective of individual investors' profiles, we are guided at all times by the two fundamental core objectives of all wealthy investors -- protection of wealth, and performance: |
- Long-term protection of personal and family wealth: we do not expect to be judged by how much we exceed the market's gains or "cushion" its losses in any given year. Contrary to many, our benchmark is zero - also known as an "absolute-return" approach. Our starting point is protection: zero-gain, zero-loss, regardless of market performance.
- Consistently superior investment performance over time, through a unique mix of strategy, skills and tools:
- An "active", tax-efficient and fully personalized portfolio management strategy, with an asset allocation adapted to the changing needs of our clients as well as the changing trends in the markets worldwide.
- A "global" investing approach: our clients' assets are managed by experts located offshore, in London - the world's leading global financial center. Unlike many U.S.-based professionals who invest in so-called "international" securities or mutual funds to gain overseas access, our managers participate directly in the global markets day in and day out. Their selections of investment assets are not related to the size or importance of any one geographic market: rather, on their evaluation of actual opportunities and trends relative to all other alternatives around the globe. Our market is the world.
- Sophisticated and proven investment tools available worldwide, aimed at enhancing return -- but within the parameters of our risk containment imperative. Depending on market conditions, these may include "structured" investment products... established, high-quality, low-leverage hedge funds... "alternative" investments... even commodities-related opportunities.
- "Open architecture" investment philosophy: in order to deliver superior performance, our professionals will seek the "best-of-breed" outside professionals in each asset class and investment style. Today, even among the most prestigious investment managers, reliance on their proprietary investment products is all too frequent - regardless of how their record compares with others in the marketplace. By contrast, our allegiance goes to our client: we are an independent firm. Our global, multi-manager investment proposition gives us the complete freedom of choice which is a pre-requisite for maintaining our high performance standards.
|
| Once a joint decision is reached to allocate a portion of our client's liquid assets for global diversification, an initial portfolio strategy is meticulously tailored to his or her unique situation and preferences. That strategy is flexible and will be reviewed on a continuing basis over time through direct client communication. The portfolio's profile will be dependent upon the client's comfort level - and the markets' risk-return scenarios. |
