Portfolio Management
Portfolio Management Approach
In the world of significant wealth, portfolio management transcends simple asset allocation; it is a dynamic and disciplined process of strategic decision-making, rigorous risk management, and opportunistic execution. It is the art and science of constructing a portfolio that not only preserves and grows wealth but also aligns perfectly with your unique financial objectives, values, and legacy aspirations. At STRATTFORT, we are not merely managers; we are Your Trusted Business & Wealth Architects, meticulously designing and constructing portfolios built to endure.
The Philosophy: A Foundation of Prudence and Performance
Our portfolio management philosophy is rooted in the principles of Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), a Nobel Prize-winning framework that emphasises the importance of diversification and risk-adjusted returns. However, we go beyond academic theory, applying a practical and forward-looking approach that is tailored to the sophisticated needs of our ultra-high-net-worth clientele.
The core insight of MPT is that an asset's risk and return should not be assessed by itself, but by how it contributes to a portfolio's overall risk and return.
This principle guides our process, ensuring that every investment decision is made within the context of your total financial picture. We focus on maximizing your portfolio's Sharpe Ratio, a key measure of risk-adjusted return, to ensure you are being adequately compensated for the level of risk you are taking.
The Core Components of Our Process
Our portfolio management process is a continuous cycle of collaboration, analysis, and disciplined execution. It is designed to be transparent, comprehensive, and fully aligned with your goals.
Client Discovery & Goal Setting
We start by examining your financial situation, risk tolerance, and long-term goals to ensure your portfolio reflects your aspirations.
Strategic Asset Allocation
We create a strategic asset allocation plan tailored to your profile, which is key to your portfolio's long-term performance.
Selection & Due Diligence
We employ a fair process to select leading global investment managers. Our open platform grants access to top talent beyond our own products.

After setting the strategy, we implement it efficiently, managing account openings, asset transfers, and trade executions for a smooth transition.
Risk Assessment & Monitoring
We monitor your portfolio constantly and global markets, managing risks with advanced systems for a clear view of your exposures.

We provide clear financial reports and regularly meet to review performance, discuss market conditions, and adjust your strategy.
Effective portfolio management is the engine that drives long-term wealth creation. At STRATTFORT, we combine the rigor of institutional investment management with the personalised service of a boutique family office.

Tax-Efficient Investing: Keeping More of What You Earn
For UHNW investors, tax efficiency is not an afterthought; it is a critical component of portfolio management. We employ a range of strategies to minimise the impact of taxes on your investment returns, including:
Tax-Loss Harvesting: This strategy entails selling underperforming investments to realise losses that offset capital gains, helping investors reduce their tax liability and improve after-tax returns.
Asset Location: This strategy emphasizes placing assets in the most tax-efficient accounts. By positioning investments wisely, investors can enhance after-tax returns and boost overall financial performance.
Direct Indexing: This strategy entails owning individual stocks in an index rather than an ETF, providing investors with greater flexibility and control for tax-loss harvesting and capital gains management.
