Our investment process
Meeting your clients’ individual requirements and achieving the best possible investment returns for their chosen level of risk is our goal.
Our award-winning centralised investment process, which is fundamental to the service we provide, guides the investment thinking of your Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management portfolio manager.
The depth of resource and experience we employ is utilised to the greatest possible extent through the interaction of a number of investment committees; in combination, each will contribute to the portfolio positioning which is adopted across our range of investment solutions.
• Our investment process is built upon a global asset allocation framework.
• We undertake Due Diligence on potential investments. • Investments are selected from the open market
by our in-house experts to provide clients with a range of quality investment opportunities. • Portfolios are constructed efficiently from our
approved lists of suitable investments.
• Risk is measured through a proprietary approach to portfolio risk management.

GPS Optimized Portfolios
GPS Optimized Portfolios are a unique investment solution, providing a powerful tool for managing volatility and risk which can complement any wealth strategy. At Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management we recognise that reducing the risk to your client’s invested capital is the cornerstone of a complete investment strategy. Through the development of our proprietary risk model which incorporates the Market Stress Indicator (MSI), we have created our Optimized Portfolios, which aim to insulate the core of your client’s investments from dramatic market highs and lows.
Our proprietary, volatility led process is only available from Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management. The Optimized portfolios are adjusted to help achieve your client’s investment objectives while endeavouring to cap risk, and therefore reduce the magnitude of loss, at the risk level suited to their investment objective.
The process underpinning our approach has been recognised as a best-in-class investing discipline. Our successful investment strategy received the Gold Standard Award for Discretionary Portfolio Management in 2012 and 2013, as well as a five-star rating by independent research firm Defaqto in 2014 and 2015.
Discretionary Portfolio Management
We offer a Discretionary Portfolio Management Service where we will build and run a personalised portfolio on your clients’ behalf.
You will have a dedicated portfolio manager, who is committed to fulfilling your clients’ investment needs in line with their stated risk profiles, investment objectives and their personal circumstances.
The discretionary portfolios invest in individual stocks and bonds and other alternative asset classes. They also invest in third party investment funds for added diversification and access to the world’s best managers. One of our key differentiators is the risk driven nature of our investment approach. We understand the need to determine an investor’s objectives and recognise that managing a portfolio in line with the risk objective as the primary goal, not chasing short term returns, is of paramount importance.
The investments discussed in this document may not be suitable for all investors. Investors should make their own investment decisions based upon their own financial objectives and financial resources and, if in any doubt, should seek advice from an investment advisor.
Managed Portfolio Service
Our Managed Portfolio Service (MPS) provides a range of risk-rated discretionary portfolios for clients who do not require a tailored portfolio. For a recommended minimum investment of £100,000 your client can gain access to the level of resource usually reserved for high net worth discretionary clients.
We offer a range of seven portfolios that invest in
collectives and ETFs; and seven MPS direct portfolios that invest directly into UK equity, funds and bond holdings. The MPS portfolios are accessible either directly or via a third party platform.
As part of our continued commitment to supporting you, the adviser, we have the ability to map the models to the risk profiling tools of our intermediary clients, such as Distribution Technology, to support your assessment of suitability.
Inheritance Tax Portfolio Service
Our Inheritance Tax (IHT) Portfolio Service is a clear and efficient model designed to reduce inheritance tax whilst providing growth potential to enhance your clients’ legacy.
The IHT Portfolio Service invests in a diversified portfolio of established, profitable companies selected from the Alternative Investment Market (AIM). Under current rules, shares in certain companies trading on AIM are treated as ‘business property’ and eligible for a tax relief known as Business Property Relief (BPR). Once these AIM companies have been held for a period of two years, they are no longer considered part of an estate in the IHT calculation.
The IHT Portfolio Service is actively managed, so if we no longer deem the underlying investments suitable or they are no longer eligible for Business Property Relief, we can sell them and reinvest the proceeds into another qualifying company without the two year period restarting. The Inheritance Tax Portfolio Service should be regarded as high risk as it exclusively invests in equity securities listed on AIM. Portfolios will therefore have a significant exposure to small capitalisation stocks. By their nature small capitalisation stocks have more volatile prices and may have poor or no liquidity. The portfolio is therefore exposed to significant capital losses.

Portfolio risk
management
Our solution to this problem challenges conventional thinking about portfolio diversification and recognises that markets behave differently from each other when in different states, often resulting in a bold approach to portfolio construction.
Whilst we believe that asset allocation is the main driver of investment returns, this framework helps us stay true to our investment philosophy; to grow our clients’ wealth, but with a focus on risk management.
Managing clients’ risk in
today’s world is more
challenging than ever. As
the world has become more
inter-connected, different
asset classes are increasingly
behaving in a more similar,
or correlated, fashion
