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.

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.

Global

A global approach provides clients with the widest set of potential investment opportunities. W1M’s central Investment team offers dedicated expertise across all asset classes and regions.

Active

We firmly believe in the benefits of active management, both in terms of asset allocation and security selection. What we choose not to invest in is as important as what we own, helping us to avoid areas at risk of permanent capital loss and better protect client capital in periods of drawdown.

Direct

We invest predominantly in direct equities, bonds and alternatives, providing greater control over portfolio construction and greater transparency for clients around what they own.

High conviction

Our portfolios are concentrated but broadly diversified. The best risk management technique is knowing and understanding what you own.

Responsible investment

Environmental, Social and Governance factors are intrinsically linked to the long-term financial sustainability and returns of an investment, thereby forming a natural part of good fundamental research. Our integrated approach also uses engagement and voting to help encourage better corporate behaviours.

Performance

We seek to compound superior risk-adjusted returns ahead of inflation over a business cycle.

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.
