Regulated by the FCA, we provide personalised and professional discretionary investment management services for Investment Visa Programs.

The Investment Visa program requires client portfolios to be 100% invested in UK company equities or bonds. This requirement limits the investment choices that are usually available to clients since investments in USD government bonds, gold, or even hold cash are not allowed.

As a result Investment visa portfolios need to be managed very carefully with a strong focus on capital preservation and risk management. Our relationship managers and investment team are very familiar with this type of program and work closely with international Bank custodians and our clients to deliver a successful outcome.
