Investment Philosophy
To construct portfolios that consistently deliver inflation beating returns relative to our client’s acceptable risk profile
Even if you are retiring today, you will still have to produce an income for many years in retirement. The global and South African trend in areas of the population that have access to good nutrition and first world medical facilities, is that we are living longer. Inflation is therefore the enemy when planning for retirement or when you need to start drawing an income from your investments. The challenge is to balance risk with return while still outperforming inflation. We have therefore chosen inflation as our most relevant benchmark when it comes to our client’s portfolios.
