Choosing an investment style that best suits your needs

Investment styles are professional strategies used to create and manage portfolios. Different styles can range from aggressive growth to conservative investments. Depending on the investor’s goals, interests and risk tolerance level, they can choose a style that best suits their needs.

For example, an investor looking for quick returns may opt for a more aggressive approach while a more cautious investor might prefer a slower growth strategy. Knowing one’s investment style is important in order to make informed decisions about how to manage one’s portfolio. By understanding the various aspects of different styles, investors can better understand which type of investing works best for them and how they want to deploy their money.

Right knowledge and professional support

With proper knowledge and professional guidance, investors can be confident in managing their portfolios according  to their chosen style. Style investing takes into account factors such as asset allocation, fund selection, market timing strategies and risk management when building a portfolio.

As always, it is important to do research and obtain professional advice before making any decisions about investing money. With the right knowledge and professional support, investors can be sure that they are making sound investments to achieve their financial goals.

When it comes to style investing, some key questions that should be considered include:

1. What investment objectives do you have? There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to style investing, so it is important to have a clear understanding of your investment objectives. With that knowledge in hand, you can then determine which style of investing will best fit your portfolio and long-term goals. Investing styles vary greatly depending on the amount of risk tolerance and desired objectives. No matter what style of investing you choose, professional advice is essential for developing a successful strategy.

2. What type of return do you hope to achieve? Different investment styles produce different levels of returns depending on the market environment, the strategy employed and other external factors. You need to understand the expected return from each investment style and ensure that it aligns with your overall objectives.

3. How much risk are you willing to take on? When it comes to style investing, it is essential to consider the amount of risk you are willing to take on. Different investment strategies can involve different levels of risk, so you should think carefully about your personal tolerance level and adjust your portfolio accordingly. Being aware of the potential risks involved with any given investment strategy can help ensure that you make an informed decision that aligns with your overall financial goals.

4. What type of investments can you access? You can assess a range of investment opportunities depending on the types of investments available for your particular investment style, such as value investing, growth investing, momentum investing, etc. With professional advice and guidance, you can ensure that you make informed decisions about the investments that are right for you and your portfolio.

5. How much time do you have for monitoring and rebalancing?  When choosing an investment portfolio style, it is important to consider how much time and effort you are willing to commit to monitoring and rebalancing your investments. Regardless of which approach you choose, it should be noted that professional guidance may be necessary for more complex strategies. Furthermore, proper monitoring and rebalancing is necessary in order to ensure the continued performance of any investment portfolio over time. Ultimately, the amount of time available for monitoring and rebalancing should be taken into account when determining which investment strategy is best for you.

Making decisions about investments

Ultimately, understanding how each investment style works is an essential component in building a portfolio that meets your needs. While diversification is important in investing, it’s equally essential to understand each style and determine which one aligns best with a person’s investment goals.

Different strategies come with different levels of risk, potential returns and costs associated with them. You need to consider these details when making decisions about investments.

What are your investment motivations?

You might be the cautious investor who’s happy for your investments to keep pace with inflation or someone who’s ambitiously seeking faster portfolio growth. Whatever your motivation, we can help you with your investment objectives. For more information please contact us.

Adam and his team undertook in-depth research into our existing QROPS schemes and clearly set out both pros and cons of transferring the funds back to the UK. Having decided to go ahead with the transfer, Adam and his team worked extremely hard to facilitate the transfer. The QROPS pension trustees were not always the most professional or responsive organisation – however we were very grateful for the perseverance and commitment that Adam showed us as clients.

Jonathan – East Sussex

Adam offered a range of financial products , the one he suggested was affordable and proved to be a good choice.  Returns on investments have exceeded my expectations, based on Adam’s advice and guidance. Profits have enabled house improvements to take place.

David - Surrey

Adam arranged an appointment very timely, he explained his role and qualifications as an IFA giving me reassurance , we went through my retirement and investment goals. Adam discussed my options explaining in great detail, I felt relaxed during our discussions allowing me to fully understand my choices. I feel very confident in the financial advice allowing me to enjoy my retirement.

I was very happy with Adam’s recommendations and explanations of financial products which would suit my retirement goals, I feel this has helped me review and reduce my financial risk as I reach retirement, leaving me feeling confident that I can enjoy my retirement plans.

Ron – West Sussex

After initial meeting Adam put together a very detailed and thorough written plan. At our second meeting he went through the whole booklet and explained everything in layman’s terms which made it a lot easier to understand.

I am very happy with everything that was suggested and put in place especially with something as big and important as pensions. Adam and his team have taken a huge weight off my shoulders and I would highly recommend their services to anyone needing help with their financial planning and pension.  Adam couldn’t have been more helpful, and even came outside his normal area to meet me on a number of occasions.

Richard - Kent

Unfortunately I had to claim on my critical illness insurance due to my wife being ill and because of the sound advice Adam gave in acquiring this insurance we ended up being financially safe through a tough time.

Steve - Kent

Adam did a review of our financial situation, confirmed that Flexible Drawdown best suited our needs as a family, and then did all the research into the best product for us. He will continue to monitor it for me. He acted extremely promptly because we had a deadline for requiring the lump sum; went out of his way arranging meetings during non-office hours, was professional yet friendly and explained a difficult subject very well.

Clare – East Sussex

Adam did a thorough review of my pension policies, clearly explained how well they had performed, how flexible they were, how the market regulation has changed, and, crucially, what the tax implications would be if I were to leave them untouched. He accurately assessed my attitude to risk and recommended an up-to-date solution that will offer me the greatest flexibility at retirement.

Greg – East Sussex

Adam was quick to assess & understand my situation, and was able to discuss & communicate in a very concise and simple way the various options available to me, taking time for me to understand and clarify where necessary. My understanding & knowledge of taxation & pensions has increased significantly allowing me to feel much happier making financial decisions for the future.
