Investment process
Henson Aslam Financial Management LLP recognises the importance of working with you to understand and achieve your financial aspirations whilst maintaining a lifestyle that you enjoy.
In order to achieve this it is important for us to understand throughout the financial planning process your attitude towards investment risks and the potential variance on risk versus return. Throughout our discussions with you, we will take care and consideration in recommending an investment solution based on the following:
· Your attitude to risk tolerance
· Your investment objectives and goals
· Maximising your tax position and allowances
The investment portfolio and planning strategy that we recommend will consider those factors and will seek to achieve your objectives whilst monitoring the investment risk within your appetite. This will be thoroughly reviewed with you on a regular basis to ensure that your financial objectives remain achievable based on your circumstances at that time. We believe that broad diversification within a portfolio is one of the most effective ways of maximising opportunities while minimising risk.
The main principle of diversification is to smooth out the fluctuations that can occur within a portfolio by broadening the exposure across a range of different asset classes, sectors and ultimately stock holdings. The balance of different asset classes can therefore reduce the overall volatility without significantly reducing the returns achieved from your portfolio. In line with our beliefs, we use an asset allocation based approach to investing. We ascertain your attitude to risk and then align you to an appropriately constructed investment portfolio. Your attitude to risk is reviewed in line with our service agreement and we aim to ensure your investments are appropriately aligned throughout our relationship.
