At Novia we recognise that there is a strong and growing demand in the investment market for advisers to outsource the portfolio management process to specialist third party Discretionary Fund Managers.
This allows clients to benefit from expert portfolio management and investment research capabilities enabling advisers to focus on financial planning and understanding their client's needs and aspirations.
As a consequence we have developed a trading system and processes which allow the four parties: advisers, their clients, Discretionary Fund Managers and Novia to work together to provide a professional and effective wealth management service.
The choice of Discretionary Fund Manager and charges paid to them remains an agreement between the client and adviser. However Novia enables advisers and Discretionary Fund Managers to use the service in full to the benefit of clients. Novia enables Discretionary Fund Managers to
Further information on how to link with Discretionary Fund Managers can be found in the Key Features Document and in our Terms and Conditions.
Novia can work with any FCA authorised Discretionary Fund Manager that you may wish to appoint. However we have partnered with a number of Discretionary Fund Managers who you may wish to use through the service.
Below is a list of these Discretionary Fund Manager partners. Click on the drop down sections below to find out more information and further details on the services they can provide.
We offer what we regard as a traditional investment service whereby we invest assets, using simple portfolio structures, into high quality companies, commercial property and fixed income securities utilizing a disciplined process, a highly skilled team and the best available technology.
Albert E Sharp was established in 1911 as a stockbroker for local families in the Midlands. Having survived the First and Second World Wars, the business grew considerably. In 1946 Albert's only son, Kenneth H Sharp, who had served in the army, re-joined the firm. In the 1950s the company established a corporate finance and research department for analysing local firms wanting advice on fund-raising and other strategic decisions. By the late 1950s, when people were beginning to generate wealth and save money, Albert E Sharp began to be recognised throughout the country for professionalism and trust. In the 1960s, with clients trusting it to look after their investments without consultation, the organisation began to offer discretionary investment management. In the mid-1970s Simon Sharp, Kenneth's eldest son, became the senior partner. Under his leadership, the business continued to flourish until it was acquired in 1998.
In 2009 Giles Sharp, Albert's youngest grandson, established an investment management business as an independent company, using the family name to underline his commitment to the long-held tradition of providing first-class, professional, personal service. Giles firmly believes there is strong demand for a firm operating under the principles passed on to him by his grandfather and father. To ensure the firm remains true to its ideals and that it honours the trust and confidence built up since his grandfather's day, Giles, handpicked a team of leading investment managers to look after client portfolios. Each has extensive experience of institutional investment management, is professionally qualified to the highest standards and has a proven performance track record.
With this in mind we have partnered with Novia to offer our investment management expertise.

History has taught us that this aim is best achieved by adopting a multi asset strategy, as no one asset class performs well at all stages of the economic cycle and diversification is key to smooth out painful volatility. Apollo's fund management team are specialists in this type of investment and have the necessary experience to create the optimum portfolios to match a client's attitude to risk. In essence each asset class has its own characteristics such as average return, correlation, volatility, and specific periods within the investment cycle to which they are most suited. Apollo focus on blending these individual asset classes together into portfolios to enhance return and reduce risk, such that the 'whole is greater than the sum of the parts'. Although there are many subsets within asset classes, essentially we focus on these eight; equities, bonds, cash, property, commodities, currencies, alternatives and private equity.
Apollo Managed Investment Solutions via Novia
The Apollo - Athena Managed Investment Solutions have been developed to provide Advisers with a solution that focuses primarily on the clients' risk profile. The service consists of nine, ready-made portfolios that have been deemed appropriate for clients with risk profiles of 2 through to 8 (based on the standard 1 to 10 scale). Details on the portfolios can be found on their respective fact sheets. Each of these portfolios are constructed from Apollo's own multi-asset funds and a number of satellite holdings and are continually monitored and rebalanced where necessary to ensure that its risk profile remains unchanged.
How are the Portfolios Constructed?
The portfolios are constructed using a blend of Apollo's three multi-asset funds which are managed by an investment team that has demonstrated its ability to deliver strong and consistent performance for investors over the long term, together with a number of satellite holdings. The funds focus on wealth preservation and downside protection, seeking to smooth returns and minimise the investor's exposure to risk and volatility.

We are independently owned and are not influenced by a fund manager, bank or insurance company. Brewin Dolphin is also able to choose investments for its clients from the whole of the market.
Brewin Dolphin has over 130,000 clients and more than £25bn of assets under management including more than £8bn in collectives. This substantial client base has allowed Brewin Dolphin to invest and build its award winning research department .
What is the Managed Funds Service?
The Managed Funds Service (MFS) is designed to provide discretionary fund management to clients for whom a bespoke service may not be required or deemed cost effective. It is administered via the Novia wrap and is structured to preserve the client-adviser relationship. The service provides clients with access to a range of five risk rated portfolios created and managed by Brewin Dolphin's award-winning research team.
Who is MFS for?
MFS provides access to Brewin Dolphin's models for smaller portfolios. The service is also able to cater for those clients that would like to make an initial lump sum investment but also make regular payments into their portfolio. MFS is offered via a Novia to make investment management a realistic option for clients who may have less to invest or may be steadily accumulating wealth. This takes advantage of Novia ability to administer assets in a cost efficient manner.
MFS is not a unitised product and an investor in MFS will own a portfolio of funds rather than one single fund. This means that if one part of the portfolio needs changing this can be done without detriment to the rest of the portfolio. It also means that any potential liability to capital gains tax will accrue more steadily thanks the small and subtle changes made to the portfolio. Having a single managed fund would mean that any capital gain may accrue more rapidly, potentially creating a capital gains tax liability when the investor looks to dispose of their portfolio.
MFS is also available via Novia in a range of tax efficient wrappers (ISAs, offshore bonds, SIPPs).
How does MFS work?
Selecting a portfolio
Advisers can select from a range of five model portfolios, with their choice of model portfolio reflecting the amount of risk the client is prepared to accept. Risk profiling of the client may be conducted through the platform. The resulting output can assist the adviser in identifying the portfolio most suited to the client.
The investment decision process
Assets within MFS are managed to reflect Brewin Dolphin's current asset allocation and fund selection views on a continual basis. On a monthly basis our asset allocation team will review the asset allocation of each portfolio. Alongside this, the individual components of portfolios will be monitored by our research team to ensure that their inclusion is merited going forward.
This ongoing monitoring helps ensure that portfolios remain within their original risk parameters, and identifies opportunities to make changes to portfolios in a timely manner.
What does MFS provide?
A MFS portfolio therefore provides access to a portfolio selected from a range of investment funds. The funds are chosen by Brewin Dolphin's award-winning, well-resourced and objective research team, and will continue to be monitored on a daily basis.
The platform will provide transaction statements, regular reports and online access to valuations for each investor.
Finally, as wealth accumulates a more bespoke service is likely to be required. Your Business Development Manager will be able to take you through this and the seamless re-registration process to Brewin Dolphin to utilise this.

In addition to ownership of the business, many of our investment managers have personal savings invested with the company and our interests are therefore closely aligned with those of our clients.

We have built our business through our expertise in constructing and implementing broadly based investment portfolios covering many types of assets, designed to add real value to clients in line with their investment and risk objectives.
Objective
We aim to achieve investment performance that delivers a real return for clients and matches or exceeds their expectations, but only through exposure to an appropriate and agreed level of risk.
Structure of the Portfolios

EQ is wholly owned by our staff which means that we can focus on building the business for the long-term without having to compromise to meet short-term targets from external shareholders, as many of our competitors do.
The EQ Positive Impact Portfolios
The EQ Positive Impact Portfolios are a range of responsible and sustainable investment solutions suitable for retail investors. They are designed for clients who want to go beyond ethical or social 'avoidance strategies'.
The EQ investment team has spent several years researching investments from across the socially responsible, ethical, sustainable and impact investment markets and developed rigorous grading process. This provides us with a solid understanding of the different methods employed by the numerous managers active in this space. We attempt to identify where one can genuinely make a difference with investment capital, while not compromising on performance.
EQ's Investment Team is highly regarded for its expertise in the measurement of social and environmental impact. We demonstrate that responsible use of investment capital can help to tackle many of the environmental and social issues existing today.
As a result, our portfolios will give your clients the confidence to know they are investing in the fund managers who actively seek out social and environmental improvements over and above simply avoiding vices, thereby providing a more 'positive' or 'intentional' investment proposition.
The EQ Positive Impact Portfolios are not just about selecting investments that do good. They are also about selecting good investments. Alongside our social and environmental research processes, our investment management team apply all their knowledge to find investments which we believe have the potential to beat equivalent but less responsibly managed funds in terms of the financial returns they can deliver. We then build portfolios which we believe provide sustainable outperformance versus peers.

Our three risk-managed investment strategies are designed to produce a consistent level of return for the level of risk employed - managing RISK is at the centre of everything we do.
Our investment process is built upon our proprietary risk management system, Analysis, Risk and Trading system (ART), that stress tests portfolios thereby bringing an institutional approach to private clients – this is the backbone of the business.
This gives Financial Advisers reassurance that portfolios are constantly reviewed, monitored and rebalanced, ensuring alignment with their clients ATR.
Strategic asset allocation is set at outset and tactically adjusted as appropriate - flexibility to reduce/remove asset classes in extreme market conditions.
We have a diversified, multi-fund and multi-asset approach to investing, as we believe this provides better capital protection and risk-adjusted long-term returns over more traditional mixes of long-only equities and bonds that you might see elsewhere.
Inventive use of alternative investment strategies to provide diversified sources of return and reduced volatility via the use of absolute return funds.
The above approach has led to consistent relative performance across all solutions, providing consistency and reliability of client outcomes.

Ethical investment is rarely a core activity for advisers, but climate change and global concerns have led to a significant increase in demand for ethical investments. The level of extra research required in what is still a niche area, makes the outsourcing of ethical investment management a compelling option. King & Shaxson Ethical Investing has developed a comprehensive range of ethical portfolios to satisfy this need.
The five portfolios cater for a range of investors from those looking for stability in capital values through to those who wish to accept a higher level of risk. The Income portfolio generates an attractive level of income whilst also maintaining capital.
King & Shaxson's portfolios are designed to accommodate not only investors looking for a complete ethical approach but also those that wish to add an ethical component to their conventional portfolios. The portfolios are well diversified but have a thematic tilt, providing exposure to areas such as clean technology and water.
King & Shaxson Ethical Investing is part of King & Shaxson Capital Limited, a City institution dating back to 1866. The company has been active in ethical asset management since 2002, and has a dedicated team who are not only expert in ethical investing but also share the ethical values held by its investors. The core investment principles of asset allocation and global investing, along with transparent client reporting, have remained the cornerstone of King & Shaxson's ethical asset management since its inception.
In addition to ethical asset management King & Shaxson also has a strong presence in the cash management and the fixed interest markets, with clients including well-known building societies and local authorities. King & Shaxson also run conventional equity mandates in the US, Europe and the Far East.
King & Shaxson Capital Limited (Co. No. 2863591) is registered in England and Wales and is part of the PhillipCapital Group. It is a member of the London Stock Exchange and authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

High quality outsourced investment management
Kleinwort Benson offers a range of six sterling investment strategies with a choice of risk, return and income.

The strategies are risk-rated from 1 to 5, where 1 is intended to be the lowest level of risk and 5 the highest. Risk in this context is measured in terms of the annualised volatility of monthly returns.
Kleinwort Benson’s models are as follows: Cautious (risk rating: 2); Balanced (risk rating: 3); Income (risk rating: 3); Growth (risk rating 4); Growth and Income (risk rating 4); Aggressive (risk rating 5).

Our Approach to Investment
All of our investment solutions incorporate our active approach to asset allocation. In addition we will use a wide range of investment vehicles encompassing active and passive funds, investment trusts, exchange traded funds and other specialist products. The choice of investment vehicles we use will depend on the solution we are managing and it's investment objectives.
Our ultimate objective is ensuring we fulfil clients' investment expectations for an agreed level of risk.
Strategic Asset Allocation
Combining asset classes with different risk and return characteristics enables us to create robust and efficient portfolios able to achieve the highest returns for a given level of risk over the longer term. Our strategic asset allocation is dynamic. It is reviewed quarterly and is designed to adjust to reflect the changing behaviour of different asset classes over time.
Tactical Asset Allocation
The strategic asset allocation of our clients' portfolios provides their long term direction. Our tactical asset allocation overlay reflects the team's current thinking on asset classes and markets. It enables us to take controlled positions in order to enhance returns or reduce losses in the shorter term.
Fund Selection
As a proponent of multi manager investing we believe it is important to include a broad range of managers and investment vehicles. Our robust quantitative and qualitative process covers both active and passive funds as well as investment trusts, exchange traded funds and other specialist funds such as structured products. Whilst we embrace a wide range of investment vehicles, we understand that it is critical to use the right ones to meet our clients' specific requirements.
For the Dynamic Beta Portfolios we focus on using low cost strategies such as Index funds and ETF's combined with active managers who allow us to access certain asset classes.

Our purpose is to enhance the Financial Wellness™ of individuals, their communities and their businesses and we are committed to providing investment solutions that can deliver against real client investment objectives.
The Momentum Outcome-based Investment approach is a unique way of investing that gives your clients access to the benefits of world-class asset-liability matching principles, historically only available to large institutional investors. This asset-liability matching process ensures that investments are chosen to be more in line with your clients’ specific goals, investment periods and ultimately your clients’ attitude towards risk.
_________________________________________________________________________
Momentum’s international investment and wealth businesses began in 1998. The business has evolved over the years, from a South African offshore investment focus to now offer a broad range of investment related services and solutions to retail and corporate clients across the United Kingdom, South Africa and select international markets.
Our commitment to better understanding the financial framework of the UK continues from our creation of the Momentum UK Household Financial Wellness Index. Created in partnership with The University of Bristol, this annual index provides invaluable insight into the habits and attitudes that inform UK’s personal money management.
The Managed Portfolio Range
The Momentum Managed Portfolios were designed to give investors access to discretionary investment strategies. Our solutions are structured to provide a sophisticated investment offering that aims to perform strongly in an array of market conditions and is very competitively priced.
Our Managed range consists of six Managed Portfolios and three Income Portfolios designed to cater for a wide range of risk and return appetites.
The Portfolios offer targeted inflation-plus returns over four or more years. They are broadly diversified investing in a range of equities, fixed income, cash, property and alternative strategies. The Portfolios asset allocation is actively managed and reflects Momentum’s views on asset classes, regions and currency. These can be implemented using either active or passive strategies. The Portfolios are also rebalanced on a regular basis to ensure that the asset allocations adhere to the original risk profiles. The continual review of the level of expected returns from each asset class determines the ongoing composition of each portfolio.
This process has been in place since the inception of the funds, and also previously with other funds managed at Momentum Global Investment Management.
Our Investment Philosophy
Momentum`s robust and all-encompassing investment process has our outcomes-based investment philosophy at heart. Clients invest with a goal in mind, and it is our resolute mission to make that goal a reality whilst making the journey to that outcome as palatable as possible. This philosophy is informed by the following core beliefs:
Inefficiencies create valuation extremes and offer opportunities
Dynamic asset allocation will add value over time
Effective use of broad range of asset classes generates better risk:return profile
Blending uncorrelated assets enables true diversification
Reversion to the mean works in the long run
Wait for the ‘fat pitch’
Dynamic manager selection is essential
Employing specialists to maximise opportunities
Asset Class/ Investment style/ manager
An Aligned Investment Process
Our core strength is a detailed, in-depth understanding of multiple asset classes. For each asset class we undertake extensive modelling using proprietary techniques to assess likely returns under different scenarios. The finesse of our process allows us to be very nimble in changing asset allocation. This allows us to build robust and agile portfolios that seek to outperform across a multitude of economic climates.
Our investment team covers research across a broad range of asset classes and is responsible for external manager selection. As well as picking the right style of managers, we also aim to pick the “best of breed” within any style. We look for managers who have a clearly defined and well-articulated investment philosophy. The manager must translate that philosophy into a coherent process on a consistent basis, and have the necessary resources to repeatedly achieve this.
Our risk management philosophy goes beyond expressing risk as volatility units or VaR measures. Ultimately for our investors risk is the chance of a permanent impairment of real purchasing power. Our approach explicitly focuses on this type of risk, allowing the fund to aim to deliver superior returns over the long run.
The end result is a well-diversified, multi-asset, multi-strategy, and multi-execution solution.
We take advantage of market valuation opportunities to change the strategy allocation but only if it enhances the probability of achieving the outcome without introducing excessive additional risk.
Since Momentum has no ties to other financial services groups we are free to build our clients’ solutions with the best available strategies across the market.
Your goal is our benchmark
Our outcome-based investment approach allows the funds to complement the true financial planning process by providing returns that are conducive to an investor`s needs. This results in an emphasis on meaningful client-centric returns. The feedback we often hear is that clients find it increasingly hard to engage with a benchmark as a success metric for their investments, but would prefer to know whether they are on track to achieve their goals. Since our investment solutions begin and end with our client`s goals we are able to do just that.

Passive Portfolio
About Morningstar Managed Portfolios
Active Portfolios - use long term strategic asset allocation for diversification. They span equities, fixed-income and alternative investments, providing exposure to a broad range of asset classes that can be weighted according to our expectations for risks and returns.
Income Portfolios - are intended to provide a stable income in the context of attractive risk-adjusted returns. By focusing on income stability (not just the current yield), our service can provide realistic and risk-aligned income portfolios.
Passive Portfolios - are the purest reflection of our asset-allocation strategy. Because of their straightforward composition, passive investments do not face the same possibility of investment style drift as vehicles under active management.
Our portfolios are supported by access to Morningstar's risk-tolerance questionnaire, regular detailed reports and a dedicated adviser support team.
Why work with Morningstar?
Clear Investment Principles
The investment team takes a long-term and valuation-driven fundamental approach to investing. To help manage risk and deliver better returns, the team builds truly diversified portfolios that combine investments with different underlying drivers. Our core investment principles from the foundation of the investment process and guide the team's investment thinking, behaviours and decision-making.
In-Depth Valuation Analysis
Our valuation-driven portfolio construction focuses on one central idea: We find fair value in fundamentally strong but underpriced investments. From idea generation to holistically building portfolios for the long term, valuation is the key factor guiding the way we construct portfolios and helping us manage risk.
The core of our philosophy is the belief that asset class returns are intrinsically linked to the cash flows they supply to investors. We analyse capital markets with a valuation lens to find ways we can get more than we'll pay for and gauge market sentiment to help ensure we're taking a contrarian look at the markets.
In-depth fundamental asset class reviews are integral to developing our conviction in different investment opportunities. This judgement-driven approach leads to our best thinking about capital markets research and asset classes.
Independent Manager Research Experts
Morningstar Investment Management Europe is able to leverage the expertise of the Morningstar analyst team, which is one of the largest and most experienced fund research teams in the market with more than 100 investment professionals globally. Our analysts are based around the world because they believe the best assessments come from people on the ground. They use independent data from Morningstar, Inc. and regular face-to-face meetings with fund managers, to identify and rate what they believe to be the highest-quality funds in the market place, examining through the five pillars that they consider key to understanding funds: People, Parent, Process, Performance and Price.

*Indicative conventional risk rating spectrum as used by IFAs, platforms and other industry professionals
Myddleton Croft looks to manage clients by mandate and risk tolerance. The above allocations are a 'base case', e.g. valid when assets are fairly valued. However, given that valuation and risk are not static, investments may become under / overvalued or very volatile. We believe the balance between equity and non-equity should reflect this and be flexible enough to accommodate prevailing circumstances. For example, if equities become overvalued we will reduce equity exposure below the base case. The degree of flexibility is illustrated in the table above through maximum and minimum weightings for both equity and non-equity investments. For clients with risk appetites outside these ratings, MCIM can construct a bespoke portfolio on demand.

We offer a distinctive Centralised Investment Proposition (CIP), which has been set up by an IFA, for IFAs. We also provide other services alongside investment to our partner IFAs. Our offices are in Northampton and London.
Our Investment strategy
We developed Outcome Based Investing (OBI) over ten years ago. OBI focuses on delivering a client's strategised annual return (the Outcome, as identified by the IFA in the financial planning stage) combined with a clear understanding of that individual client's tolerance for loss (both financially and emotionally). We manage each client's assets, using their specific values of these two primary factors, which is the most suitable model portfolio at that point in time to achieve their goals. Beating the agreed benchmarks and indices are important, but are secondary to exceeding each client's Outcome while not exceeding their risk tolerance.
Long term investment success come from achieving strong performance while managing the risk taken to achieve it. Based on our modern concept of Outcome Based Investing (OBI), our track record demonstrates that it is possible to deliver strong investment returns with lower volatility. We have achieved this by constructing investment portfolios, selected from all asset classes, and then dynamically adjusting this mix through the economic cycle. This includes taking strong defensive action to protect client capital if we identify market event risks.
Why use our model portfolios?
The OCM Asset Management model portfolios are available through the Novia Platform. Each model is designed to achieve its specified outcome while not exceeding its specified risk. It therefore has a different blend of assets drawn from the whole of the market that our analysis says will best achieve these twin goals. This includes our assessment of the impact of all costs on the returns the client will experience. We then cyclically adjust the portfolios as we move through an economic cycle, since the best blend of assets to achieve these goals will vary with which economic phase that we are in.
Each Client has individual needs so they are not fixed into one portfolio. Rather we move them between model portfolios given their outcome and risk goals and the market opportunity and volatility that we see. We therefore treat each client individually and manage their portfolios in line with their requirements, truly connecting the financial planning with an investment mechanism to deliver it.
The benefits to using OCM Asset Management include:
Fees
The annual cost of our Model Portfolio Services on Novia is only 0.35% +VAT. The cost of the Bespoke Portfolio Service varies with the mandate, so please contact us to discuss further.

P1 Investment Management is delighted to offer our range of model portfolios through the Novia platform to provide financial intermediaries with a cost-effective investment solution.
Managed Portfolio Service
Our Managed Portfolio Service (MPS) provides a range of carefully and professionally managed investment portfolios spanning hybrid, bespoke, passive and ethical portfolios.
The key stages involved in creating and managing our portfolios include:
Establish Portfolio Objective & Risk Profile – We determine where the portfolio will sit in our range and what we believe the client is looking for when investing in to it.
Strategic Asset Allocation – We use Personal Investment Management & Financial Advice Association (PIMFA) to derive our risk levels, which is flexed to out in-house views. The Strategic asset allocation is generated on a long term view, looking past 5 years.
Tactical Asset Allocation – The Tactical asset allocation is a shorter term view, derived from our view on the global economy, monetary and fiscal policies, valuations and currency. By the constant fluctuations in these factors the tactical asset allocation relies on ongoing idea generation and these are formally discussed at quarterly investment committee meeting.
Fund Selection – We maintain a panel of researched, approved and monitored investments. Our panel includes a range of potential holdings that can be used in different scenarios and to exploit varying opportunities. Where we believe that active managers are unable to generate positive net relative returns, we will use passive investments. This removes an element of selection risk from the portfolio in addition to reducing the overall cost. The amount of passives held will vary dependent on asset allocation, availability of appropriate investments and the relevant portfolio objective.
Portfolio Construction – Appropriate investments are selected from the panel to meet the tactical asset allocation determined by the portfolio’s risk profile and objective. Core holdings are used to build the bulk of the portfolio. Such holdings are likely to have a long time horizon and are investments we expect to outperform consistently, compounding outperformance. Tactical holdings are used when there is a perceived opportunity in the market, whilst ensuring the investment will work well with other holdings within the portfolio, and where appropriate for the risk level. For portfolios with higher income objectives, we may adjust the tactical asset allocation to ensure that the income target is met. The changes will not affect the overall risk level of the portfolio and are only done to the satisfaction of the investment committee.
Ongoing Monitoring, Investment Changes & Rebalancing – Performance contribution analysis of the portfolio enables us to identify areas that require addressing as well as furthering our understanding of the interaction of funds’ returns and their implications at a portfolio level. All the model portfolios are subjected to a comprehensive quantitative risk analysis on a six monthly basis to highlight areas which could present a previously unforeseen risk.
Investments that have performed particularly well will become rebalanced downwards on a quarterly basis and for poorer performers, vice versa. Quarterly rebalancing ensures that a portfolio does not become over concentrated in areas that have done well and realigns the portfolio fully with our most recent asset allocation decision.
Hybrid Model Portfolios
Our Hybrid Portfolio Service provides a range of carefully and professionally managed investment portfolios spanning five risk levels and three core objectives; income, growth and a balance of the two. With the client outcome in mind, our investment process combines our strategic and tactical asset allocation with granular portfolio construction and stock selection to add further value. Our portfolios are built around core holdings with satellite tactical investments aiming to take advantage of shorter term themes. The portfolios consist of active and passive investments. Passive investments are used where we believe active managers are not able to add value sufficiently to justify the higher charges. As a result, we believe our hybrid portfolios have the ability to outperform while having a lower overall cost.
The funds have been independently rated by Dynamic Planner®
We operate nine core strategies across five risk levels:
A full brochure and factsheets are available on request.
Bespoke Portfolios
A service suited to clients who require bespoke investment management of their investments, with the day to day management of your investment portfolio being handed over to the investment managers. We use a wider panel of investments including investment trusts.
P1 Investment Management will establish a strategy, monitor your clients’ holdings, and make investment decisions on their behalf. This ensures the portfolio remains appropriate to their risk profile and targeted at achieving individual objectives.
ForBespoke portfolios, the management charge is 0.25% plus VAT, Client meetings are £200 plus VAT. There is a minimum annual fee of £1,500 plus VAT.
Passive Portfolios
We have a range of five risk rated passive portfolios that are able to meet the majority of client needs, whilst minimising costs. This has been done by ensuring that both the cost of the underlying investments are kept low alongside a competitive P1 discretionary management charge. In a low return environment, cost is becoming an important factor in determining to absolute return of an investment portfolio.
Portfolios have been constructed with a long term time horizon from the outset, limiting the need for regular intervention. This will minimise transaction fees, as we will simply look to make changes to the portfolio for the purposes of rebalancing or where we feel that the cost of the transaction is outweighed by a saving from an ongoing fee. Quarterly portfolio rebalancing enables us to ensure that the portfolio remains appropriate for the targeted risk level.
Portfolios have been built around core holdings of UK equities, global equities and fixed income alongside alternatives providing an element of diversification. The Strategic Asset Allocation should ensure that the portfolios remain appropriate for the targeted risk level. We will not take views on short term market movements or themes, leaving the natural diversification and rebalancing process to balance the portfolio. The portfolios are not volatility or return targeted.
The service is provided at a price of 0.1% and not subject to VAT.
Ethical Model Portfolios
We manage 3 core risk rated portfolios focussed around the three basic dimensions of the environment, social issues and corporate governance. We follow the P1 house style for portfolio construction, but subject each available fund to a strict vetting process and employ our influence and engagement with the chosen fund manager and team. Our ethical oversight committee provide checks and balances to any fund shortlisted for inclusion in our models.
P1 also contribute to the ethical and sustainable investment community through published articles and specialist commentary. P1 also runs a number of free CPD seminars on a number of topics.
A full brochure and factsheets are available on request.
The cost of P1's Ethical Model Portfolio Service on Novia is just 0.40% per annum and they are not subject to VAT.

Our aim is simple: to provide independent and professional portfolio management at highly competitive rates.
Price Bailey
Price Bailey is a leading firm of business advisers and accountants, who have been providing tax and financial advice for more than 70 years. We have offices in London, Guernsey and throughout East Anglia.
We have been successfully investing and managing client money for more than 14 years - and have funds of more than £230 million under management (as at 01.11.12).
It's always nice to get told that you've doing something well - which is why we were so proud to win the Leading Adviser Business Award at the 2012 Aberdeen UK Platform Awards. We were recognised for the quality of our wealth management service and the judges said we "employ technology superbly to offer a top class competitively-priced proposition for the client".
Price Bailey Portfolio Management
Our service is suitable for investors looking to preserve and grow their wealth in a careful and steady way.
We recognise that no two client situations are the same - so we offer four risk-rated portfolios that are designed to satisfy a wide range of investment appetites. Each portfolio is carefully constructed to spread risk - by investing in various asset classes including equities, bonds, commodities and property.
We have a preference for Index-Tracking (passive) investment products - collective investments and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). We believe they are the best way to access most asset classes: they reduce investment management costs, remove individual stock risk and avoid underperforming active investment managers. We prefer full physical replication because of the small tracking error, transparency and absence of counterparty risk.
Our portfolios provide a blend of index-tracking products from the leading providers - plus some funds which are not usually available to retail investors. In this way we can deliver a full range of fund manager expertise
What makes us different?
Our (0.35% + VAT) annual management charge is lower than typical investment manager/unit trust management fees. The average TER of our portfolios (including our annual management charge and underlying fund charges but excluding platform and adviser costs) is approximately 0.80%.
We understand what advisers want/need and are happy to share our knowledge and experience. We do not intrude on the adviser-client relationship.
We have produced a suite of material which provides everything we think you and your clients will want to know about Price Bailey Portfolio Management:

Price Bailey Portfolio Management is a service and trading style of PB Financial Planning Ltd.
PB Financial Planning Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under their reference 210782.
What we do
We provide independent, discretionary investment management services to high net worth private clients and their related entities.
We are not experts in everything and work alongside a client's advisers to meet their overall financial objectives.
Quartet on the Novia Platform
Advisers are, more and more, looking to Wraps and Platforms to streamline the management of clients' assets. They also recognize the delegation of the management of clients' wealth is a tough decision. We hope to help, by making Quartet's bespoke portfolio management service available through the Novia Platform.
Key differentiating points
Client focused - Our clients are the focal point of the business and we spend a great deal of time understanding their goals and maintaining dialogue with them.
Bespoke multi-asset portfolios - Each client's circumstances are unique, sowe do not believe in shoehorning clients into predetermined investment solutions. All portfolios are tailored to achieve the client's objectives.
Asset allocation - We believe, and studies have shown, that asset allocation is by far the biggest driver behind investment performance. We do not believe in "buy & hold" strategies and instead focus on actively managing the tactical asset allocation within clients` portfolios. This is where we believe we add significant value.
Investments - Very few fund managers consistently beat their respective index and they also tend to have high fees and costs. We therefore use passive investment vehicles for core portfolio holdings. Tactical, actively managed funds are included to add alpha.
Team - We are very much research led and, within our staff of 13, we have an in-house team of 2 analysts and 2 economists.
Alignment of interests - Partners and their families are amongst the firm's largest clients and our portfolios are managed along the same lines as external clients. We also pay the same fees!
Whether a client is an individual, family, company or trustee we will tailor our investment offering to suit their requirements.

Rivers Capital Management was founded by a team of experienced multi and single asset portfolio managers. The employee owned business was founded on the belief that individual client needs are best served by separating personalised financial planning and advice from investment management.
Having individually managed model portfolios via platforms since 2011 and similar multi-asset solutions since 2000 the directors have developed a robust investment process with an excellent track record for providing risk adjusted returns.
OUR INVESTMENT APPROACH:
As experienced investors we approach investing in as dynamic and as flexible a way as is possible while remaining both transparent and consistent. Consistency of return is our primary objective. We have developed a unique investment process which is tailored specifically for investment advisers and their clients.
We offer a generic set of risk rated model portfolio solutions. These solutions if necessary can be further tailored based on cost or objective.
We adopt a dynamic approach to risk as well as active and passive fund allocation. Our research shows this maximises efficiency and lowers overall costs.
We are independent, accessible only to advisors and provide no direct client solutions or individual funds. All the portfolios we manage follow the same ‘Rivers’ investment process:
Long-Term Strategic Allocation
..using the Rivers proprietary risk categorisation system.
Active Tactical Allocation
..by experienced portfolio managers using the Rivers risk matrix.
Flexible Active/Passive Allocation
..where active management allocation varies according to market opportunity.
Unbiased Independent Fund Selection
..optimised for tailored objectives and platform availability.
On-going Risk Management
..targeting long term consistent returns over short term performance.
OUR INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES:

Eduardo Tomacelli – Founder and Portfolio Manager (etomacelli@riverscm.com)
Mark Hill-Reid – Sales and Business Development (mhr@riverscm.com)
Najib El-Rayyes – Analyst and Portfolio Support (ner@riverscm.com)
We are majority owned by the partners all of whom have money managed within the firm.
We wanted to create a business that provides an independent, innovative and professional service meeting the clients' real needs without pressure from sales targets, bonus expectations and fulfilling shareholder demands that are common at larger firms.
The Approach
RMG is different to traditional asset managers and private banks because we believe in forward looking asset allocation using macro economic and market analysis rather than a backward facing 'buy and hold' approach.
Underpinning this process is RMG Wealth Management's proprietary, quantitative analysis and a unique emphasis on investor sentiment in the belief that it is either fear or greed that drives return.
We target lower volatility using active management and a proprietary risk management system that cuts losing positions and retains and develops winning fundamental investments.
It is a multi-asset approach, using low cost and highly liquid investments meaning we can be nimble enough to change direction quickly should the need arise.
We are conviction investors, making choices based on the financial and economic environment we are in. We make investments with one eye on the opportunity and the other on preserving wealth.
Fees and Process
RMG concentrate on reducing overall fees to the client as much as possible by ensuring the most cost effective securities are chosen and by being a lean and focused investment manager, we have no sales force or large marketing presence.
We intend to be as fee flexible as possible to suit the advisors and their clients.
We will manage a general model portfolio and will manage specific portfolios in consultation with advisor firms.

Our Collective Portfolio Service
The Collective Portfolio Service comprises 6 risk graded portfolios in addition to an ethical portfolio, each having a different combination of the different assets classes, (i.e. cash, fixed interest, equities and alternatives such as property or commodities); with pre-defined risk allocations which align to industry recognised risk profiling tools. Individual stock selection and timing decisions are made by the investment team. A significant amount of due diligence and research is undertaken before making an individual investment selection. Each of the securities within the asset classes is then risk graded on various criteria and is ranked accordingly from one (lower) to five (higher).

OUR INVESTMENT APPROACH
As risk based, multi-asset investment managers we believe:
Investing should be unconstrained:
The best talent is not all in one company:
Controlling risk is at the heart of generating consistent returns:
Saltus runs three distinct real return investment strategies which apply 'risk budgets' to portfolio management to dovetail with the risk profiling tool you use. This ensures that we always take the correct amount of risk for your clients.
SALTUS SOLUTION VIA NOVIA
Our approach to Discretionary Fund Management On-Wrap differs from the normal approach of model portfolios. Instead of providing the usual 'buy-list' of funds, we have taken our full discretionary portfolios and broken them down into a handful of Saltus "building blocks" (e.g. Saltus managed OEICs and Saltus managed Investment Trusts) which are then custodied on the Novia platform. The advantages to this approach are:
Saltus then uses these building blocks to construct and manage the portfolios for your clients. Whilst the allocation between the "building blocks" will change from time to time, most of the dynamic portfolio management is done by Saltus within these "building blocks".
HOW DO SALTUS WORK WITH ADVISORS ON THE NOVIA PLATFORM
Saltus takes time to understand your business and work with you to find the investment solutions that best fits your practice.
CHARGES
Saltus charges are very competitive and fully transparent.

With over 30 years of experience in building multi-asset portfolios for private clients and charity investors, the Sarasin Thematic Model Portfolios allow advisers to leverage that experience to meet the needs of their own client base.
We recognise that many advisers are looking for ways to deliver best-in-class core asset allocation solutions for their clients. We have partnered with Novia to offer our investment management expertise offering our five Thematic Model Portfolios, which differ in their equity weighting and target-return profile.
Designed to provide a range of outcomes for your clients
Our portfolios have been built around a single core investor proposition: to preserve the real value of their assets over time. The additional return required above inflation is dependent on the level of risk each investor is prepared to take.
Each portfolio in this range has a strategic framework that has been developed after detailed research to meet an inflation adjusted return target. Our portfolio managers then aim to provide additional returns above this level by drawing on the most compelling ideas from their extensive fund research and using economic analysis to identify key trends to drive active asset allocation.
Key benefits of the Sarasin Thematic Model Portfolios:
• A choice of five professionally-managed and diversified core asset allocation portfolios that each match a different client risk profile and target return objective
• They are forward-looking, investing in companies well placed to benefit from compelling global trends
• They provide flexibility, allowing the managers to use third party or in-house funds and ETFs to take advantage of tactical opportunities
About us
Sarasin & Partners is known both as a market leader in thematic investment and for long-term income and dividend management across multi-asset and equity mandates.

https://www.7im.co.uk/financial-intermediary
7IM was launched in 2002 and now manages over £11 billion in client assets (April 2017). We don't believe in "star managers", instead preferring the structured, disciplined and institutional approach from a team of very well qualified and experienced investment professionals.
Why use passive investments?
We are also believers in the power of passive investments; they tend to be much cheaper than actively managed funds and remove the need for that star manager again. When you use a passive investment you tend to track an index instead of paying an active manager to pick particular holdings. In challenging economic times such as these, when costs can make the difference between your portfolio returning a profit or a loss, we think it is vital to keep those costs as low as we can.
Within the risk tolerances set through our long-established asset allocation process, our Investment Management team chooses the investments for each of the portfolios with the intention of obtaining steady returns at the most appropriate level of risk.
Model portfolios
The 7IM Model Portfolios are a risk rated range of model portfolios which use a similar approach to managing money as that used for the 7IM Asset Allocated Passive (AAP) Funds. This process consists of a strategic (backward looking) analysis, combined with a tactical (forward looking) view, and the resultant asset allocation is fulfilled with low cost passive and smart passive instruments, with due diligence carried out by 7IM.
The models are:
Fees
These are the charges for the 7IM Model Portfolios:
- 0.25% (+VAT) per annum.
- The ongoing charges figure of the underlying passive instruments ranges between 0.2% and 0.4% depending on risk profile.
- Any fees or charges that you make to the client are in addition to the above.
- Any fees or charges payable to Novia are in addition to the above.
We believe that the 0.25% + VAT charge represents exceptional value for money in a low growth environment where you are probably under pressure from your clients to find them an investment solution that has discipline, structure and consistency behind it.
A real portfolio, not just a fund or tracker
Our portfolios are a blend of passive investment holdings, so you actually get a broad range of external fund manager's expertise.
Why do we do this? Spreading risk and reducing volatility (taking out the wild ups and downs of the stock market ride) are what we advocate. We might be boring but our performance is steady - and in line with what we promise!
Recognition
Our approach has earned us several awards, including a 5 star rating by Defaqto in 2017 for our Model Portfolio Service. In 2013 we won the Best Outsourced Investment Solution for Advisers at Professional Adviser Awards, and in 2015, we won Best Discretionary Fund Manager at the Investment Life & Pensions Moneyfacts Awards, as well as the award for Best Steady Growth Portfolio and Best Overall Large Firm at the Citywire Wealth Manager Performance Awards 2015. We hope to be able to demonstrate to you why financial advisers who use us keep coming back.
In Summary
The benefits of investing in our Model Portfolio Service are:
"We emphasise three things at 7IM - cost conscious portfolios with steady performance and managed risk. This approach helps our clients sleep at night." Justin Urquhart Stewart - Director and Co-Founder.

Introducing Tavistock Wealth
Tavistock Wealth aim to provide retail clients with access to institutional quality portfolio management. We do this by partnering up with the most successful risk manager in our industry, BlackRock.
We run a core set of in-house funds called the ACUMEN Portfolios. The ACUMEN Portfolios cater for the varying risk appetite of different investors. This is done primarily by partnering up with the market leading provider of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs): iShares by BlackRock.
We blend our ACUMEN Portfolios together to create the Tavistock PROFILES. These are model portfolios which target specific volatility parameters and are constantly monitored by our analysts, ensuring strict adherence to the criteria set by the Tavistock Wealth Investment Committee.
Tavistock PROFILES
The Tavistock PROFILES cater for clients wishing to invest in risk profiles 3-8. Tavistock Wealth operate with a key focus on risk management ensuring our Tavistock PROFILES (model portfolios) operate within defined volatility parameters.

We provide discretionary investment management for individuals, charities and trustees through our model portfolio service, personal investment portfolio service and Optima fund range.
In addition, Thesis Unit Trust Management (TUTMAN) provides the construction and compliance oversight of collective investment schemes for wealthy families, IFA firms and other affinity groups. We can act as ACD within such schemes.
Thesis Model Portfolios provide access to seven risk rated portfolios invested in collectives.
The active management of the models is reflected in asset allocation and fund selection. The asset allocation within these models benefits from the full investment process and diligence used within our fully bespoke service but at a cost and entry level that is suitable to a wide range of clients.
AA is forward looking not just based on historic performance of the asset classes. We call it having some common sense. Asset allocation is therefore not driven by benchmarks.
Selection in Models adds considerable value. This provides access to the best funds at the best time without reference to fashion or fad. Our full time models team regularly meets fund managers as part of the in depth research process.
Working in partnership to help deliver your client proposition is critical and mapping to your risk profiling is a key part of that. We are happy to discuss different risk mapping methods and tools to ensure a good fit with your business.
Advisers using Thesis models can have direct contact with the investment management team. Subject to availability we will also attend client and/or adviser in-house meetings where this can add value.
Thesis has a wide range of experience in business development. We like to assist advisers to exploit business development opportunities and we specialise in developing professional connections to the benefit of all parties.
Thesis quality and service have been recognised by Defaqto, the independent analysis firm. Thesis was awarded the top 5 star award for Bespoke (Personal Investment Portfolio) and Model Portfolio Services. One of our fund managers appeared in Citywire Wealth Manager top 100 in 2013. For two years in a row Thesis has won the Citywire Investment Performance award - Aggressive Portfolios. This year Thesis won a PAM award (investment performance: growth portfolios) - mandate 5 of 7, based on Asset Risk Consultants (ARC) data. ARC have also awarded Thesis the 3D award for demonstrating a superior standard of transparency.

Our Services
Thorrtons Investments provides discretionary investment management services to financial advisers, private clients, charities and trusts. This includes our Model Portfolio Service, Bespoke Discretionary Management and our AIM Portfolio Service.
Model Portfolio Service
Our partnership with Novia offers financial advisers a choice of five discretionary managed risk-targeted investment models:
Thorntons Cautious Model Portfolio
Thorntons Steady Model Portfolio
Thorntons Moderate Model Portfolio
Thorntons Progressive Model Portfolio
Thorntons Adventurous Model Portfolio
Our model portfolios are designed to achieve their investment objectives within a specific risk profile. We seek to provide a positive investment return over the medium to longer term, while generating an honest income and controlling volatility.
Volatility Management and Control
Volatility management and control are fundamental to the service we provide, given the close alignment between the models and your clients' risk profile and capacity for loss.
Each model is constructed with a three to five year investment horizon and targets a specific risk budget.
We invest in open ended funds to allow efficient rebalancing to model positions and will use both tracker and active funds, utilising their respective advantages.
There is a spread across a range of asset classes and funds to appropriately diversify risk, but not to the extent that the potential for performance is diluted away.
We do not manufacture our own in-house products.
Maximising Returns
Passive, index tracker funds are used to reduce the average Ongoing Charge Figure and provide efficient exposure to markets. Active funds are used for their potential to add performance alpha and also for differentiated investments with limited correlation to the rest of the model.
By blending both active and passive funds we aim to use the advantages of both to enhance the end risk-return outcome.
Our Model Portfolio charges
All models will aim to minimise the underlying OCF, with a ceiling of 1%, and generate an income yield that should at least cover all costs incurred by the end investor.

TIDEWAY HORIZON PORTFOLIOS
HORIZON INVESTING
Tideway’s Horizon approach allocates capital based on the time horizon, risk appetite and use of funds. Because different assets have different return and risk characteristics it is important to match investments with the expected holding period.
Money earmarked for use in the next five years is allocated to Horizon One assets which are stable, secure, low volatility investments such as short dated corporate bonds and cash. Horizon One assets are selected to target real returns of 2% p.a.
Horizon Two capital is invested for five to ten years across a selection of Absolute Return Funds and bonds (including hybrid capital). Horizon Two assets aim to deliver real returns of 3-5 % p.a.
Assets with the highest volatility and long term expected return are allocated to Horizon Three. Horizon three assets are selected on the basis of being held for at least ten years and include single name equities, long only equity funds and long dated corporate bonds (including hybrid capital) Horizon Three assets are chosen to deliver real returns of 4-6% p.a.
HORIZON PORTFOLIOS IN PRACTICE
Tideway Horizon Portfolios are concentrated in high conviction research-driven ideas and use a unique framework which allocates capital according to time horizon, risk appetite and use of funds.
Horizon portfolios create a cascading cash flow all the way from the long dated investments through to short term bonds and cash. The objective is to meet investor income and capital needs whilst never having to be a forced seller of investments at a loss in the short term.
Remember – whilst volatility can work with positive effect when accumulating an investment portfolio (buying on weakness) it can be ruinous when starting to de-accumulate and make withdrawals (selling on weakness).
TAKING OUT INCOME AND CAPITAL
Withdrawals are made by selling stable Horizon One assets first, meaning that the risk of having to sell an asset at the wrong time and realise losses is dramatically reduced. This improves long term returns.
In addition, income from Horizon Two and Horizon Three portfolios can saved to meet unexpected cash needs or where there is no requirement for cash the income can be reinvested and returns will compound.
Whatever your time horizon or risk appetite, Tideway has developed a comprehensive set of Horizon Portfolios to cater for your investment requirements:

We are trusted to look after more than £20 billion on behalf of our clients and pride ourselves on offering the very highest levels of professional service to the financial adviser community. Central to our investment philosophy is the understanding that clients are particularly sensitive to losses rather than necessarily being adverse to investment risk.
The core beliefs our investment philosophy are:
• To achieve returns ahead of cash and inflation
• Understand risks taken and particularly the risk of capital loss
• To back our judgement and invest alongside our clients
• The principle of diversification
• To embrace the use of both funds and single securities
• To use active and passive management techniques for the benefit of our clients
• To be aware of and to minimise the impact of costs

The services are aimed at advisers who want their clients to have an appropriate level of investment management, but do not have the capability themselves to provide this in house.
There are varying levels of solution available which are intended to suit a range of clients, all of which are very competitively priced.
Vestra Wealth is a partnership set up by experienced industry professionals to provide an exceptional wealth management service to private clients, companies, charities, friendly societies, trusts and financial intermediaries.
Our investment solutions are designed with a clear understanding of clients needs, and are provided on an unbiased and whole of market basis and are not product driven.
We combine our investment approach with a thorough and well-informed investment process, transparent charging and no manufacturing of in-house products. We also have access to the resources and expertise of leading global investment firms.
Vestra Wealth is committed to an approach that puts the client first.
Vestra recognise that advisers are increasingly looking to platforms to help manage their clients' assets. We believe that by teaming with Novia to provide a discretionary management service to advisers, we can add significant value to both their business and their clients. The key features are:

Model Portfolio Service
Each portfolio comprises a diversified range of funds with daily liquidity and the portfolios are rebalanced on a regular quarterly basis, or more frequently if required. We emphasise capital preservation and aim to achieve specific target returns on a rolling three-year basis net of charges, rather than matching a particular index or a fixed asset allocation. We believe this is easier to explain to clients than some of the more complex benchmarks that are used. Our management charge is 0.375% plus VAT.
Our investment approach is to use experience, hard work and common sense in the analysis of economies, markets, sectors, shares and funds. We invest over the long-term while being flexible in the shorter-term and we focus on investments that can provide resilience at times of market weakness. The portfolio uses collective funds whose broad remit serves to diversify risk and we have a diversified range of holdings – our policy is to invest no more than 5% into a single fund (with the exception of money markets). We have a significant allocation to alternative assets such as commodities, property and total return funds to offset potential market volatility. We are willing to hold substantial amounts of cash in portfolios if circumstances dictate.
We enjoy communicating with advisers on how we manage our portfolios, as we do with our own discretionary clients.

Tolerance levels are set with upper and lower limits to ensure that the portfolios remain within their risk profiles, but they are flexible enough to react quickly and decisively in changing market conditions.
All the funds selected for the portfolios have been through a rigorous research process by the investment team before being approved for inclusion within the models.
