Introduction

Investing
for life

Investing can feel complicated and intimidating. We understand the responsibility it carries and the importance of getting it right from the outset.  

We take the time to understand what’s important to you – your goals, values and priorities. This ensures your investments are purposeful and support your wider financial plan, leaving you feeling confident that your money is working meaningfully towards the future you want.

We will help you understand why you are investing, how to invest and importantly, we will be by your side to not only put your investment plan into action, but to support you throughout your investment journey. 

How we help

About Investment Management

What is Investment Management?

Investment management is about making sensible decisions that you can stick to. Decisions which aim to help you to achieve your objectives, whilst managing risk to a level you feel comfortable with.

It should be evidence-led and aligned to your views around risk, people and the planet. 

Investment management is not just a set and forget exercise however. Life changes, as does the world around us. Our Investment Committee regularly reviews the evidence behind our investment strategies. We have a robust governance process in place which can give you confidence in our approach.

Why does Investment Management matter?

Successful long-term investing often means navigating hard times. We use specialist tools developed by behavioural finance scientists to help you understand how you think about money and make financial decisions. Knowing this we can better help you implement strategies which you can stick to – in the good times and the hard!

Who is Investment Management for?

It is probably for people like you.  People who want to achieve a return from their money in support of their goals, who are willing to take onboard some risk to do so.

You may be someone who does not have the time, or inclination, to manage your investments. Alternatively, you may be passionate about all things investing. 

You may come from a finance background or have no knowledge and experience. 

Whether you’re just starting your investment journey, feel confident in your understanding, or are somewhere in between.

Whoever you are and whatever stage you are at, our investment management service can help provide you with clarity and peace of mind.  

We work with people from all kinds of backgrounds, as well as professionals such as trustees and charities.  

*Investing places your capital at risk and the values of investments can go down as well as up. Cashflow and Tax Planning are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Aligning your investments with your views and circumstances

Whilst applying the core principles of our evidence-led investment philosophy, our Investment Committee has designed three portfolios to help you achieve your objectives.

  • PN Traditional
  • PN Responsible
  • PN Intentional

We will work with you to identify how you may want to invest, whilst making sure you understand the potential risks and trade-offs involved.

Future goals and plans

We look at your future goals and plans and then the complex factors that affect our finances, such as maintaining an adequate emergency fund, school fee planning, or later-life care. We aim to reduce risk without lowering returns*. Once we start the process of building your investment strategy, your most important decision is creating a blend of assets, rather than choosing one fund or shares in one company.

Investing is an integral part of implementing any financial plan. We have long believed in the rewards of adopting a systematic, evidence-based, approach to long-term investing.

When it comes to investment planning*, we know that one size does not fit all and recognise a growing demand for an approach that aligns with our B Corp mission.

Our core Paradigm Norton Responsible (PNr) portfolios seek to partner with fund managers to make effective use of your shareholder voice. They engage on your behalf on a variety of issues such as good governance, and impact on society and the environment. Companies who won’t, don’t, or can’t engage will typically form a smaller part of your portfolio.

This approach is taken a step further for clients using our Paradigm Norton Intentional (PNi) portfolios which include funds which set out to address some of the challenges raised by the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Our investment committee work with industry experts and follows a rigorous fund selection process to piece together each of our portfolios. Our planning teams work together with our clients to help choose the option that best meets their individual needs and preferences.
