The construction, management and preservation of your investment portfolio is critical to your long term wealth creation. Through these various stages, an investor’s objective is to maximise long term returns while minimising risks.

We have been doing this for generations of business owners and individuals through the provision of specialist advice and investment management services.

Because of our history and expertise in this area we are able to offer institutional grade investment solutions to our clients through our private investment brand Granum Asset Management (Granum).

Investment Philosophy

The Granum Asset Management portfolios are designed and constructed to achieve the investment objective of each portfolio.  In doing this the portfolio construction follows several key investment principles that have been developed over decades of professional investment experience:

DIVERSIFY

Diversification increases the predictability of the portfolios and provides increased probability of reaching the investment objectives. Diversification is the only ‘free kick’ when investing.

ALLOCATING FEES

We only allocate fees to managers where we believe (with a high degree of certainty) that investors will benefit from paying a higher fee.

VALUATION IS IMPORTANT

We adopt a dynamic asset allocation approach that considers the starting valuation of asset classes and sub-asset classes, fund managers, and underlying securities. We do this because research shows that valuation is an essential element to capital preservation over reasonable timeframes.

LONG-TERM FOCUS

The right timeframe and regular investments, will allow what Einstein claimed to be the 8th Wonder of the World – ‘Compound Interest’, to build sustainable investor wealth.

THINK DIFFERENTLY

We are investors rather than speculators. Research shows that making investment decisions based on fundamental analysis and empirical evidence rather than short term noise delivers better investment outcomes.

TRANSPARENCY

We will only invest in the highest quality underlying fund managers and securities and we will not accept any investments that are overly complex or opaque in nature.
