What we do

Investment management

At W1M, we always aim to deliver an exceptional level of service coupled with an in-depth understanding of the complicated issues associated with this type of client.

As high-net-worth individuals become increasingly global, this has become ever more important and we regularly work with clients and advisors in the UK, Europe, US and further afield. In order to meet these multi-jurisdictional needs, we have access to an in-house team of tax specialists and comprehensive global tax reporting.

Clients and their advisors have access to our global, active and direct investment approach driven by our industry-leading investment team.

How we invest

Our investment philosophy

We firmly believe in a global, active and direct approach to investing across equities, fixed income and alternative asset classes. We believe in active management and that the best risk management technique is knowing and understanding what you own.

Our investment process

We meet with hundreds of companies a year, both in the UK and overseas, providing us with insights on real economic activity. This forms an important part of our bottom-up fundamental investment approach, which we combine with our top-down framework and macroeconomic analysis to guide our asset class allocations based on the appropriate level of risk.

Our investment process
1.

Equities

Our equity investment process seeks to identify companies where the market underappreciates the quality of the business. This can either be the long-term sustainability of high returns or the prospect of improving fundamentals, with each company evaluated against four key criteria.
2.

Fixed Income

Our fixed income process combines bottom-up credit analysis with top-down views on key macroeconomic trends.
3.

Altenatives

Our alternatives process separates the non-traditional investment universe into return-seeking and capital-protecting securities and looks to identify diversifying strategies.
