A choice of investment styles We offer a range of sophisticated risk-graded investment solutions that can be customised for individual clients. It s all about risk At the heart of an effective investment proposition is an understanding of risk. Clients will never find themselves being shoehorned into an investment by an Adviser working with Parmenion. Working with our experienced team, Advisers can choose from a range of sophisticated risk-graded investment solutions that can be customised to meet the needs of each segment of their client base. Our range of investment styles include: Parmenion Investment Management (PIM) Portfolios PIM, our in-house team, manage risk-graded portfolios suitable for clients needing either active, passive, tactical or ethical investment strategies. Any combination of these styles can be blended into the unique portfolio you recommend to your client. Fund Focus Portfolios We partner with specialist fund groups such as Frontier, Dimensional and Vanguard to offer portfolios of varying risk grade and style. Third Party Managers We have from our inception acted as a platform for discretionary management. We offer fund based portfolios designed by Sarasin and other DFMs. At the heart of an effective investment proposition is an understanding of risk, encapsulated in a risk framework which guides the construction of portfolios suitable for individual investors. Parmenion have an expert understanding of how different risk frameworks, such as the Distribution Technology, Finametrica, and Edgecumbe Consulting risk assessment processes, operate. We build portfolio solutions that integrate with the asset allocations required at each risk grade within each of these frameworks. Once a client s attitude to risk has been assessed, a portfolio can be selected from our extensive range to meet the expectations for risk and return identified in the advice process. The recommended portfolio will then be monitored by Parmenion to ensure it remains on track and that the funds selected perform in line with their benchmark. Our management of your client s portfolio using discretionary investment permissions means that rebalancing and tactical investment can continue without a requirement to consult on each decision, for each client.
