Alternative Wealth Management

JPFS provides individual and institutional investors with pure alpha-seeking strategies, derived from alternative investment assets, engineered around several asset classes, primarily:

Foreign Exchange, Equity Indices, Commodities and Precious Metals.

Strategies are executed using a number of financial instruments within a regulated framework or investment vehicle.

By creating and sourcing a stable of unique investment strategies, which are diversified from, and uncorrelated to the broader market, we aim to deliver robust investment opportunities for our private and institutional clients.

Strategies sourced from external managers/traders will be verified using quantitative and qualitative analysis ensuring the integrity of the data. Additionally, investment portfolios will be created and monitored for improved returns, with robust and personalised risk controls.

What is Alternative Wealth Management?

Alternative investments were once considered an exclusive class of investments, but the increase in the number and variety of these investments has turned them into powerful tools to help investors diversify their holdings, reduce volatility and generate significant returns.

Alternative Vs. Traditional Investments

Alternative Investments

Seeking to exploit market inefficiencies by concentrating on non-traditional assets and strategies. Alternatives are often characterised by:

  • A frequent focus on market inefficiencies
  • Low correlation to indices and benchmarks
  • Returns primarily driven by alpha and manager skill
  • Assets in private and public markets
  • Potential Illiquidity (Private Placement)
  • Active shareholders or market participants

Traditional Investments

Traditional investments typically make use of public stocks and bonds, and are often characterized by:

  • High liquidity profile
  • High correlation to indices and benchmarks
  • Returns primarily driven by underlying market beta
  • Assets in public markets
  • Passive shareholders or market participants

Bespoke as Standard

We are a niche group that does not take shortcuts on quality when it comes to providing advice or investment suggestions. Each investors’ risk appetite and time horizon is different, which is why our recommendations are adapted to each investor’s goals and concerns.

 

What are you looking for from your investments? What is your investment horizon? What concerns need be considered when building your portfolio? These are all standard questions that are important, but they are just the starting point.

 

We like to be different. We don’t ask managers how much they generate in profit; we ask how big the risk is in their strategies if everything were to go wrong. If that risk is acceptable, then we believe the profits will come.

1. Discovery Process

We consider an individualised risk profile as the starting point of the investment process. This serves as both a blueprint and a report card. We start by listening to your ambitions, and through dialogue we will identify your goals, values, and concerns. Based on this, and your risk tolerance to market exposure, we will define the key objectives for your placement strategy and the corresponding risk parameters.
