Our Journey

The RIIISR vision is founded in a belief that retail clients don't have to sacrifice service levels for a more competiitvely charged investment solution. There are five main areas of focus;

Simple: we didn't want to confuse clients or to over complicate the investment journey.
Cost: the solution had to be competitively charged without compromising quality.
Service: client focused service where access to quality reporting and real people existed.
Access: availability across all product types so that financial planning didn't restrict investment decisions.
Outsourced: being free to access the best investment managers in the market and to remain impartial was key.

Beliefs & Methodology

The RIIISR investment philosophy is shaped by a belief that traditional asset allocation methodology fails to deliver optimal outcomes for investors whether via a 60/40 type model or an arbitrarily created index.

Based on investment experience and academic research the MGTS RIIISR funds have been designed to take a risk-based approach to populate portfolios with assets that encompass the most attractive risk versus reward characteristics.

The MGTS RIIISR funds have been designed to provide flexibility and allow the investment manager to implement conviction ideas. For example, if the investment manager feels that the UK equity market is unattractive, on the basis that potential returns are outweighed by the potential risks, then they do not have to hold 10% in UK equities because a benchmark holds 20%, they can hold nothing.

With conviction comes risk, therefore if the investment manager is confident about the prospects for a niche market, then they may take a position but will limit the weighting, acknowledging that niche markets can be inherently more risky than mainstream markets. The MGTS RIIISR funds offer a high level of diversification, but every position will have justified its inclusion on merit.

Capital is at risk. Investments and derived income can fall as well as rise and you may get back less than invested.
