Working with us

Wealth Management is a bit like getting fit. We all know we need to do it. But actually getting there seems to take so much effort, that we keep putting it off. It’s our role to guide you, motivate you, and keep you up-to-date on every step of the financial journey ahead.

We’ll work with you to get to know you and the life you lead; supporting, guiding and sometimes even inspiring you with our extensive experience and expertise, professional skills and broad networks. We’re not just about the here and now, of course. We’ll help you look ahead and decide where you’d like to be tomorrow, and in the future.

What we stand for:

trilogy-circle

Trust.

We’re rigorously honest

With wealth comes trust. We promise to never make a decision without you giving it the green light. And we will never advise anything in our best interests over yours.

Transparency.

We're open

No hidden agendas. No secret commissions. We adopt open and transparent commercial terms only after we’ve both agreed on them.

Tailored Advice.

We work for you

Everyone’s unique. And everyone’s circumstances are different. When we work with you, it’s like having a CFO work on your behalf. You’re the boss. We’re your wise counsel.

What We do

Wealth management is our passion. We live and breathe it every day, navigating our clients through an ever-changing world of new possibilities.

The solution to volatility? Dependability.

Our Investment Philosophy

On average, since stock markets were invented, they’ve proven to be quite efficient. A place where diversification is essential and risk is balanced with expected returns.

For many, a focus on asset allocation and cost minimisation would help the most. In today’s markets, investors are needing to make smarter, more informed decisions compared to previous eras, and in this environment managing costs is an essential part of producing meaningful returns.

 

Avoiding timing is time well spent.

Timing and Opportunities

We avoid trying to time markets, as it’s generally futile. Instead, we’re continually researching new ways to allocate capital more efficiently. That means robust academic diligence. And persistent and proven trends.

We encourage you to be in it for the long run, not for short-term gains. And that involves a strong preservation philosophy – and a little bit of daring now and again.

Simpler is smarter.

Investment Portfolios

The elegant simplicity of our portfolios actually masks the sophistication and complexity of the risk decisions from which they derive. Each portfolio is diversified across global markets and economies, as well as asset classes and individual securities. By investing with Trilogy, you’ll gain access to institutional style investments that are directly aligned to your goals.

Experience, Expertise and Energy.
