Investment Expertise

To make the most of your wealth you need an investment management solution that helps you to achieve your future financial goals.

 

My Continuum Wealth help you do just that. We partner with Investment Management experts to build a range of managed portfolios, giving you affordable access to professional investment management.

 

We have chosen to work with M&G Wealth Investments LLP, with the aim of delivering high quality well managed investment solutions for you. M&G Wealth Investments is part of M&G plc, which is an international savings and investments business. We take responsibility for the regular monitoring of their performance.

DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO EXPLAINED

A diversified portfolio of investments contains a mix of distinct asset types and investment vehicles with the aim of limiting exposure to any single asset or risk.

BOND EXPLAINED

A loan to a government or company that earns you income in the form of interest.

VOLATILITY EXPLAINED

How much the returns of an investment move away, or deviate, from their average return, determines how volatile that particular fund is. A more volatile investment moves further and more frequently from its average.

ASSET CLASS EXPLAINED

A broad grouping of similar types of investments, such as shares, bonds, real estate, and commodities.

CREATING

your investment solution

The aim of the My Continuum Wealth investment team is to deliver the best possible return for the level of risk you wish to take. To do this they employ a rigorous and disciplined investment process.
Your risk profile will be determined by using the FE Analytics attitude to risk questionnaire, in conjunction with your financial adviser. This will measure your attitude to risk and Investment time horizon.
The My Continuum Wealth investment team have created a range of managed portfolios to match each FE risk category and time horizon. They use a range of pooled investment funds which give indirect exposure to a range of assets including equities and bonds and combine these together so that the more risk the investor is prepared to take (as categorised in the table below), the greater the potential return (although losses are always possible). This combination of assets is called the asset allocation.

POWERING

your investment portfolio

Once the asset allocation has been determined, the investment management team will select the funds to construct the Managed Portfolios.

 

The selection of these funds will reflect the asset allocation, while also ensuring that the integrity of the risk category is maintained and maximised so the best potential return for that level of risk is achieved.

 

The investment team have many years’ experience selecting the most appropriate funds for portfolios and use a combination of data analysis, in-depth market knowledge and an understanding of the characteristics of different funds to select the very best options.

 

The first step is to analyse a wide range of information drawn from databases covering the whole of the UK market. This will allow the investment team to study funds from a number of perspectives, including consistency of performance and the level of risk taken in achieving those returns.

 

The process will significantly narrow down the number of funds considered.

The next step is to engage with the management team running a fund so they can understand every aspect of their investment style and philosophy. This will allow the investment team to understand how the fund is likely to perform in a range of market conditions and how the underlying fund management team plan to consistently maintain the fund’s objectives.

 

The final stage is to combine the funds together to seek to ensure that the portfolio risk category objectives are met over the short, medium and long term.

 

The My Continuum Wealth investment team will seek to ensure that there is sufficient diversification to provide the best return for the level of risk being taken.
