EPIM Brunel Overview

The EPIM Brunel range invests in actively managed funds.

The range consists of six portfolios each aligned to a specific investment objective and attitude to risk.

Portfolios are tactically adjusted to account for key changes in the market and to reflect our investment views. Portfolios hold a range of asset classes including equities, bonds, cash, absolute return and commercial property. OCFs for underlying holdings are highly competitive due to an efficient and cost-effective investment approach utilising institutional best practice. It is not uncommon for HRIS to source fund fee discounts of 25% or above. We use our research and scale to compare fund costs across multiple providers, negotiate lower fees and ultimately source funds offering the best value for money.

Cautious – Low Risk

Appropriate for clients looking to make a positive return on their initial outlay, but for whom capital preservation also remains as a key priority.

Such clients should be prepared to accept that their portfolio may struggle to keep pace with inflation, and therefore could lose value in real terms.

As a result, your portfolio will hold a greater proportion in wider asset classes, such as corporate bonds, government bonds and cash, relative to the higher risk asset class of equities.

Moderately Cautious – Low / Medium Risk

Appropriate for clients that are seeking a balance between growth and capital preservation,but accept they might bear moderate capital losses over some periods of time.

The portfolio will be more evenly balanced between equities and a combination of wider asset classes such as corporate bonds, government bonds and cash.

Balanced – Medium Risk

Appropriate for clients that are seeking a balance between growth and capital preservation, but accept they might bear moderate capital losses over some periods of time. You are prepared to accept fluctuations in the value of your portfolio to achieve your investment goals.

The portfolio will typically hold a meaningful proportion in equities, whilst the remainder will be split across a combination of wider asset classes such as corporate bonds, government bonds and cash.

Moderately Adventurous - Medium / High Risk

Appropriate for clients that prioritise growth over capital preservation and therefore accept that they might bear moderate to significant losses.

The portfolio will typically have a higher proportion held in equities, with lower allocations made to wider asset classes such as corporate bonds, government bonds and cash.

Adventurous – High Risk

Appropriate for clients that are prepared to risk significant amounts of capital in pursuit of long-term returns. Significant levels of volatility and more frequent changes in the value of the investments can be expected.

The portfolio will typically have a higher proportion held in equities, with lower allocations made to wider asset classes such as corporate bonds, government bonds and cash.

Equity Focused – Higher Risk

The portfolio will be invested almost entirely in equities.

Cautious – Low Risk

For clients which place a higher priority on preserving the value of their investments over investment returns. The investment objective is to provide a long-term total return which is superior to the UK CPI inflation rate. The performance of the model portfolio is not intended to track the rise (or fall) of any specific index. The portfolio will hold a greater proportion in lower risk asset classes, such as cash and bonds.

Moderately Cautions – Low / Medium Risk

The client will be looking to maintain the real value of their investments by achieving returns above inflation. The investment objective is to provide a long-term total return which is superior to inflation plus 1% returns. The performance of the model portfolio is not intended to track the rise (or fall) of any specific index. The portfolio will be more evenly balanced between equities, bonds and alternatives.

Balanced – Medium Risk

The client is prepared to have a greater proportion of their investments held in equities with the aim of achieving a higher investment return over the long-term. The investment objective is to provide a long-term total return which is superior to inflation plus 2% returns. The performance of the model portfolio is not intended to track the rise (or fall) of any specific index. The portfolio will typically include half of the assets invested in equities whilst the remainder will be split between cash, bonds and alternatives.

Growth – Medium / High Risk

The client is seeking to generate higher investment returns through an increased exposure to equities to help achieve long-term investment goals. The investment objective is to provide a long-term total return which is superior to inflation plus 3% returns. The performance of the model portfolio is not intended to track the rise (or fall) of any specific index. The portfolio will typically include two thirds of the assets invested in equities whilst the remainder will be split between cash, bonds and alternatives. A larger proportion invested in equities is likely to lead to increased volatility in the overall value of the portfolio.

Global Equity – High Risk

For clients looking to maximise their investment returns by having a portfolio invested largely in equities. The investment objective is to provide a long-term total return which is superior to inflation plus 4% returns. The performance of the model portfolio is not intended to track the rise (or fall) of any specific index. Significant levels of volatility and more frequent changes in the value of the investments can be expected, the client will be willing to accept these risks to achieve investment goal.

EPIM Sustainable Range

EPIM Sustainable Overview

The EPIM Sustainable range is an actively managed portfolio service incorporating environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) factors in investment decisions.

The ultimate goal of the portfolios is to support both socio-economic development and sustainable business practices, whilst generating strong and consistent investment returns. The portfolios will aim to achieve this by investing in a diversified range of funds, which include themes such as renewable energy, financial inclusion, education, social housing, climate change action, sustainable waste management and renewable material production.

The Sustainable Model Portfolio Service comprises five risk-rated portfolios, which have three targets assigned to each. These three targets are volatility, annualised return and maximum loss, allowing you to understand the risk/reward that we are expecting with each portfolio.

On a regular basis, the asset allocation for the portfolios will change to reflect our the monthly market views. Additional risk analysis and dedicated asset allocation research is also fed into the portfolio's construction process by a team of LGT Wealth Management investment managers. This means the portfolios benefit from the most current investment thinking and our best ideas through dynamic portfolio construction.
