Our focus is on leveraging the collective strength of our clients to access the very best banking services and investment opportunities available and to negotiate the lowest possible charges on behalf of our clients.

WHO MANAGES YOUR ASSETS? We live in an era when asset security is a fundamental priority. SAM never holds client money in its own name. Funds are always lodged with universally recognised custodians. SAM will undertake due diligence on behalf of its clients and will continue to monitor ongoing strength and performance. Assets held only in blue chip, undoubted financial institutions. John Weerongo Bartoo Land Of Dreams Finalist: The 2007 Sovereign Asian Art Prize SAM has built up substantial assets under its asset management formula. This enables our clients to enjoy privileged access to many of the major names in private banking and asset management, often irrespective of their actual portfolio size. Private banks and asset managers generally pigeon hole their clients according to fairly broad criteria usually based on the size of their investible assets. Investing through SAM can not only make entry levels more accessible but, where appropriate, SAM can leverage its collective strength to overcome portfolio standardisation and secure the best terms and service levels for its clients. As part of SAM, clients can therefore gain access to the active advice, products and services usually reserved only for large clients, but which may better reflect their specific circumstances and investment criteria.
CHOICE OF SERVICES SAM s services are divided into two segments advisory and discretionary asset management. In both cases, SAM will first evaluate a client s financial background, requirements and objectives before formulating appropriate investment and risk strategies. SAM does not charge Ki Dong Kwon On The Road The Stadium clients for its services. Finalist: The 2007 Sovereign Asian Art Prize Working in an advisory role, SAM will assist clients to select appropriate banks and asset managers, effect account opening procedures and implement the agreed investment strategies. SAM will continue to monitor performance and will report to the client if it feels that a change in strategy should be considered. But with the advisory approach, the client has the final say in all decisions relating to their investments. Working in a discretionary role, the dayto-day investment decisions are delegated to SAM in close co-operation with the investment teams at the selected bank or asset manager. Clients will therefore benefit from SAM s experience in addition to the investment capability, research and, of course, custody services of the selected bank or asset manager. In both cases, this dual level of expertise and service comes at no extra cost to SAM s clients. Wherever possible, SAM will use its influence to ensure that its clients receive discounts to the standard quoted fees. In this way a client s costs will never be greater and may actually be lower than the standard rates. Stockbroking services can also be arranged by SAM using fully regulated brokers with which it has developed a sound working relationship.
ADDING VALUE AND FOCUS SAM has many years experience working with external investment managers and assisting clients in the choice of private banking services on an informed basis. SAM is able to provide comprehensive information on the suitability of a bank to suit clients individual needs. Moreover SAM offers privileged access to ensure all clients receive the best terms, irrespective of the portfolio size. Clients benefit from Chow Chun Fai SAM s expertise, resulting in an additional level of service but at no extra cost. Once A Thief Any self-respecting thief would be proud to steal this painting 1st Prize Winner: The 2008 Sovereign Asian Art Prize SAM will also be closely involved in the ongoing investment strategy that will be specific to each client. This does not involve the client in any additional costs. Indeed in certain cases, due to SAM s enhanced buying power, fees can be reduced from those quoted by banks to individuals. Where appropriate, SAM is able to use its own experience and expertise to provide a personalised approach aimed at matching the client s specific circumstances more closely. Thus the client benefits from two levels of expertise both from the chosen investment house and from SAM. To find out how to maximise the potential of your investment portfolio, contact SAM for an initial, no obligation, consultation.
