Asset allocation
Constructing your portfolio with a focus on diverse asset allocation is fundamental to protecting and growing your wealth.
Carefully considered diversification will not only reduce risk but also provide a more stable growth profile, while providing investors with resilience in varying market conditions.
To prudently manage investment risk, the construction of a strategically diversified portfolio can blend various asset classes, including:
● Cash: Highly liquid, low volatility, a ready source for investment opportunities and safety during volatile periods.
● Fixed-interest securities: Reliable income generating investments, they offer consistent returns with lower risk.
● Shares: The backbone of many portfolios. Shares offer high potential returns including capital and income, while with higher risk they represent a long-term investment option.
● Property: A tangible asset that generates income from rents and leases, together with the potential for capital gains.
● Alternative assets: Assets that fall outside the realm of traditional investments, they provide potential benefits through diversification, higher return potential and possible inflation protection.
When partnering with Ords, we will advise on an appropriate asset allocation for your circumstances to ensure we optimise returns while remaining resilient in market turbulence.

What is portfolio diversification, and why is it important?

Our financial investment advice fees vary depending on the type and level of service provided. We are transparent about all costs and will provide a detailed breakdown during your initial consultation, so you know exactly what to expect.

What is the difference between discretionary and non-discretionary investment management?
Discretionary management allows us to make timely investment decisions on your behalf within an agreed-upon strategy.
