Wealth Management -Are you concerned about stock-market volatility and the impact on your investment

Oct. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Over the last three years investors have had to suffer a rollercoaster ride as markets have lurched from one crisis to another. From financial meltdown in 2008 to bailouts for Greece and Portugal and now a downgrading for the US there has been plenty to worry about.

How comfortable have you been with the financial advice that you have been getting?
Has your adviser been pro actively managing your investments and keeping you up to speed with what is happening?

Have you had a strategy in place to ensure that you have the right asset mix to match your attitude to risk and your return expectations?
Just about anyone, professional or not, can deliver positive investment returns in a buoyant market but in an unpredictable sideways trending market with high levels of volatility you need a wealth manager that knows what they are doing.

Does your investment manager constantly monitor your portfolio to capitalise on the potential investment opportunities as well as anticipate and reduce the inherent portfolio risks?

Did your investment adviser anticipate the “recent” market correction or were they caught napping as a result of which your investments are down 10-20%?

You should seek answers to these questions from your trusted financial adviser. How good an advice have you been receiving? Large financial institutions expect their relationship managers or financial advisers to manage between 100 and 200 client relationships a portfolio of 150 clients is not unusual and quite often asset management is not the only aspect of the relationship they have to take care of. There are banking matters to attend to. In difficult markets where share prices are volatile you need to put yourself in the hands of specialists whose main focus is managing portfolios and delivering performance.

Here at Fiduciary Wealth we take pride in the fact investment portfolios are managed pro-actively with asset allocations adjusted where necessary in light of market conditions. On the 5th May 2011 we advised our clients to dispose of their equities and maintain 0% equity positions only to advise them on the 15th August 2011 to re-enter the equity markets.

Now it is impossible to predict troughs and peaks as no one comes with a bell to warn you but a good investment manager should have an exit and entry strategy close to the bottom and highs and more importantly avoid huge losses.
