Our primary objective is to focus on your financial goals
Introduction For our private investor clients, finding the right financial solutions has never been more important. The Global Financial Crisis and the subsequent market volatility have unnerved even the most seasoned of investors. Investment strategies for the preservation and growth of assets have become more complex than ever before. The majority of private investors are focused on career and family and do not have sufficient time to dedicate to the management of their investment portfolios. The global financial marketplace continues to face challenges related to investment performance, liquidity, changing perceptions of risk, transparency, governance, compliance, regulation and financial reporting. Sinclair James primary objective is to focus on the financial goals of our clients and give them peace of mind in their investment decisions. At Sinclair James, we place the interests of our private investor clients first. Our clients ability to access professionally managed investment solutions should not be limited by their level of wealth or the relative simplicity of their personal requirements. In order to maximise the investment opportunities for our clients and, at the same time, minimise the risks to which they are exposed, Sinclair James has entered an exclusive strategic international partnership with a leading provider of discretionary investment management services, TAM International. The Sinclair James Signature Portfolio Service has been created as a result of this partnership and portfolio management for our clients will be outsourced to TAM International.

Our partnership with the TAM group adds value to the new Sinclair James Signature Portfolio Service by giving each of our clients the following product-defining reassurances and advantages
At Sinclair James, the security of our clients investments is paramount. TAM does not hold client assets directly and works with some of the strongest counterparties in the industry. Investments are normally held on the client s behalf with the independent custody agent, Pershing Securities Limited. As part of The Bank of New York Mellon Group, one of the world s largest and most respected financial institutions, they offer some of the highest levels of protection available in the industry.

Independence TAM is now majority owned by its employees who share the vision of providing leading-edge client portfolio management. They operate only through intermediaries and the focus is on identifying the best managers and optimal allocation of client assets. Unlike many other discretionary fund managers, TAM does not have its own fund management business performance and client service are the key drivers of growing the business. Dedicated research teams are used to interact with the managers with whom investments are placed and a continuous monitoring process to ensure that Sinclair James Signature Portfolio Service client investments are managed in an appropriate manner.
Subsequent to the Global Financial Crisis, the greatest challenges in the world of offshore finance have nearly always related to the illiquidity of funds in which clients are invested. TAM has access to institutional and clean share classes, which represent the most cost effective investment strategy and are traded on a daily basis with funds available within 7 days. No exit penalties will be charged to Sinclair James clients, who will be able to withdraw or move their funds immediately if they are not entirely satisfied with the Sinclair James Signature Portfolio Service or TAM s investment management performance.
