For financial portfolio management and portfolio review services, contact Ascendia's multi-disciplinary team of investment managers, lawyers & accountants. 

Ongoing Portfolio Review

The Ascendia managed portfolios will seek to provide a combination of assets that we expect will provide positive overall returns subject to the risks identified. As risks and expected returns change in different asset classes, so too we periodically amend the portfolios exposure to these asset classes and subgroups - where prudent.

The key aim is to manage risks, and in particular to reduce the impact of big downturns in risk assets (such as the share market) when it is considered appropriate.

We do this by considering, reviewing and amending the Asset Allocation of your portfolio (Strategic and Sub Group), and its individual assets in portfolios, with a view to ensuring they remain appropriate for our task.

Note that generally, changes should not happen too often. We don’t trade short term market corrections. We invest and amend portfolio's with a view to appropriate asset allocations and quality assets in the context of the expected longer trend of economic and clients circumstances.

We are not seeking to be dumping out of asset allocations in reaction to short term fluctuations or events, but are striving to be gradually increasing / decreasing / varying your portfolio exposures over time - so as to have the appropriate allocation to deliver outcomes that meet your requirements.

Regular Meetings

Periodic face to face, phone or skype meetings, with one of our qualified financial advisers, are initiated by us to assist us to keep up with your requirements of the service, and to give you the opportunity to monitor our progress.
