Is it time to invest in UK smaller companies?
From strong balance sheets to a potential rate cut boon, we explore the subset’s benefits.
The value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up and an investor may get back less than the amount invested. Past performance is not a guide to future results.
Family offices benefit from a truly long-term investment horizon and greater flexibility in the way they invest. In seeking to maximise these advantages, they generally favour larger allocations to illiquid assets and more niche areas of public markets to capture risk premia which they are uniquely well-placed to access. A flexible mandate means family offices can be truly selective in pursuing opportunities which meet their desired risk profile, investment objectives and sustainability requirements.
We act as an investment manager for family offices around the world, and in the UK this includes a mix of multi- and single- family office clients. We understand that each family office is unique in terms of requirements and risk appetite, and we believe that our breadth of investment capabilities – in public markets as well as alternatives and real assets – make us a compelling partner for family office investors looking to broaden their opportunity set.
We believe it is possible for family office clients to meet their investment sustainability objectives without sacrificing a diversified and attractive opportunity set. Through active engagement and stewardship we have built a strong track record of delivering more sustainable outcomes across asset classes. Our product range is able to cater to a broad range of sustainability requirements, from ESG integration to impact investing.
