Williams de Broë combines the very best traditions of private client portfolio management with contemporary investment techniques, in a modern and friendly environment.

With a heritage dating back to 1869, Williams de Broë is one of the UK's leading firms of Investment Managers having successfully established a business that has been built on the following core values:

  • Personal Service - we have a personal service driven culture and our ethos is to have highly experienced Investment Managers dedicated to meeting our individual client's needs.
  • Bespoke By Nature - we tailor our services to fulfil each individual client's specific requirements within a suitable investment portfolio based on a detailed understanding of their circumstances, investment risk and objectives.
  • Sound Investment Process - we maintain a significant resource in our investment process and have a strong focus to achieve investment excellence with portfolios designed to maximise returns within our strictly defined risk parameters.
  • True Independence - we select best of breed investments, which are appropriate for our clients, without the conflicts of interest that can often arise.
  • Professional Partnerships - we develop close relationship with professional intermediary partners and deliver investment solutions to their clients.

Operating from seven locations across the UK (London, Bath, Birmingham, Bournemouth, Edinburgh, Exeter and Guildford), Williams de Broë offers a comprehensive service to all clients from a local base. Within each branch experienced Investment Managers deliver a range of investment styles for individuals, companies, trustees, charities and pension funds.

Investment Process

It is our ethos that discretion for each client's portfolio should lie with a dedicated Investment Manager and not be beholden to a central model. We believe that portfolios can only be efficiently and properly managed by someone who knows and understands each client's unique circumstances and needs. To achieve this, the Investment Manager is guided by the asset allocations suggested by our in-house Research department, but maintains the ability to deviate from this where appropriate.

At Williams de Broë we are able to offer a full range of portfolio styles; whether a client wishes to invest for income, to grow their money over the longer term or any combination in between. We also have a range of portfolio risk profiles that cover the full spectrum from those wishing to take little or no risk with their capital, to those prepared to tolerate greater volatility in value and potentially incur large short term losses in the pursuit of higher levels of long term capital growth. Our emphasis on the management and control of risk means that we can construct a portfolio that is tailor-made for each individual.

Performance Measurement

We agree an appropriate benchmark with each client to reflect the agreed objectives of their portfolio and measure and report the performance of clients' portfolio(s) in both absolute and relative terms.

Comprehensive Reporting

Alongside regular face-to-face meetings, telephone conversations and update letters we provide full reporting through bi-annual valuations, regular income statements and annual consolidated tax statements. In addition, online access to portfolio valuations is also available for both clients and their professional intermediaries.
