Hawksmoor

hawksmoor logo 

Hawksmoor is an investment management company that specialises in managing private client portfolios. The cornerstone of Hawksmoor's investment philosophy is to aim to increase the value of clients' assets as consistently as possible over time after inflation and taxes. In doing this, we take a common sense approach to managing portfolios, investing where value can be found rather than making decisions driven by reference to a benchmark index. An active approach to asset allocation is therefore fundamental to our investment process and we seek to ensure that portfolios are sensibly diversified and structured to suit the prevailing market conditions.

 Key Differentiators:

  • Multimanager and Model Portfolios -

Hawksmoor offers both: the multimanager Vanbrugh Fund was launched in February 2009 and is part of the IMA Mixed Investment 20-60% Shares sector; the Hawksmoor Active Portfolios were launched in April 2010. The same investment process informs the Vanbrugh Fund and the Active Portfolios.

  • Award-Winning Managers -

Richard Scott has been a specialist fund-of-funds manager since 1995 and was Citywire Global/International Manager of the Year in 2002. Daniel Lockyer has been a specialist fund-of-funds manager since 2005 and was Investment Week Cautious Managed Manager of the Year in 2008. With the assistance of Ben Conway, Richard Scott and Daniel Lockyer are the co-managers of both the Vanbrugh Fund and the Model Portfolios.

  • Dynamic Risk Management -

The services provided by Hawksmoor through its Active Portfolios include asset allocation, fund research and selection. In addition, Hawksmoor provides a risk management service by allocating a risk range to its Active Portfolios rather than a single risk score. This means that risk is managed within set parameters to take account of changing market conditions. The six Active Portfolios cover the risk range from 2 to 8 out of 10.

  • Active and Passive Portfolios -

Hawksmoor believes in the value of active management but recognises there is demand for passive management from IFAs and their clients. Therefore, in addition to six Active Portfolios, Hawksmoor offers five Passive Portfolios: the Hawksmoor Passive Portfolios were launched in October 2009 and are designed to track the five FTSE/APCIMS Private Investor Indices as closely as possible. The Active and Passive Portfolios can be blended to create a tailored solution for individual clients.

  •  Competitive Charges -

Hawksmoor's annual charge for the Active Portfolios is 0.30% + VAT and for the Passive Portfolios it is 0.25% + VAT. The annual charge for the Vanbrugh Fund is 1.50%, which includes 0.50% which is rebated to the client's cash account.
