Discretionary Fund Service
The Discretionary Fund Service is suitable for individuals, trusts, charities or pension funds with a minimum of £200,000 to invest.
Your discretionary investment portfolio will consist of a range of managed funds, carefully selected and managed by the experienced Cornelian investment team.
A discretionary service to meet your requirements
- We operate on a discretionary basis: we take the investment decisions for you, based on an investment agreement which permits us to act on your behalf.
- Through careful consideration of your investment objectives, we will suggest a portfolio that matches your investment requirements.
- We always operate within the terms of your mandate to us and can accommodate asset allocation exclusions you might specify.
A Designated Account Manager
- One of our experienced investment managers will be appointed as your designated Account Manager.
- A deputy will also be appointed, so that someone with detailed knowledge of your portfolio will always be available to you.
- Both manager and deputy take personal responsibility for the decisions on your investments and for helping you achieve your investment objectives.
- At the initial meeting, your Account Manager will establish your capital and income requirements, clarify your attitude to risk and your time horizon.
Information at your fingertips
- You will have access to the holdings and performance of your portfolio as often as you wish, via a personal, secure area of our website.
- Every six months you will receive a full report from your Account Manager on the performance of your portfolio.
- If you wish, we will also send you a short note every time we change a stock in your portfolio, telling you what we have done and why.
- We will consult with you at least once a year to review performance and confirm your circumstances and approach to risk.
A minimum of paperwork
- We carry out all the administration work on your portfolio on your behalf, including cash management, settlement of securities transactions, corporate actions and the collection of dividends.
Constant vigilance
- Volatility in markets offers both risk and opportunity. As specialist, active fund managers we monitor economic, corporate and political influences on a continuous basis, and adjust your portfolio in line with our aim of delivering optimum performance in any given investment climate.
