The guiding
principle of FutureCertainty™
is to
give you the highest level of confidence in achieving your
financial goals. The investment vehicles we choose to carry
us on the journey are a key component of the strategy.
The most logical way to achieve certainty is to stop
persisting with the myth that the markets can be beaten. If
even the experts, with all the resources at their disposal,
can’t deliver consistent market out-performance over the
long-term what additional information would anyone else have
- legally - to convince them that they could?
There is an extensive body of academic research which
concludes that active fund management does not produce a
consistent long-term advantage for investors and certainly
not to the extent that it justifies the additional expense.
Our investment recommendations are therefore based on an
asset class investment strategy. We use the
institutionally-priced index funds of Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA)
as
well as index funds available from other fund management
groups. Funds are selected based on the indices they
track, their performance relative to their benchmarks and
their total expense ratios.
To access these funds we use a range of suitable tax wrappers
and investment management platforms offered by solid,
reliable product providers. Trading platforms, such as
the Transact wrap account,
allow FutureCertainty™ to administer your Pensions,
Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) and other collective
investments cost-effectively. We also recommend
Lombard for offshore
insurance bonds which, being based in Luxembourg, give
unrivalled investor protection, confidentiality and
security.
