The Fundhouse Investment process can be broken down into six key steps:

  1. Investment Outcome: Each portfolio starts with a long-term cash + investment goal.
  2. Strategic Asset Allocation: Deciding a long-term mix of investment asset classes (equities, bonds, etc).
  3. Active Asset Allocation: Contrarian, long-term but well-diversified views.
  4. Fund Selection: Picking the best funds for the target asset class mix.
  5. Portfolio Construction: Blending the funds to maximise returns and minimise risks.
  6. Ongoing Review: Significant ongoing review of returns, risk, liquidity and positioning.

Rebalancing requires a disciplined and thoroughly managed approach. We rebalance portfolios when needed, rather than on a set date in time. When we rebalance, we notify Financial Advisers in advance. Additionally, we publish a full explanation of the rationale behind our decision.

At Fundhouse, we take Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) standards seriously and see them as integral to our firm mission of doing the right thing for end savers, our clients, and the industry.

 

In line with these principles, we offer a dedicated Responsible range of three Model Portfolios, each designed to suit different risk profiles, from Cautious to Growth. 

 

Fundhouse has a proprietary scoring system through which each underlying fund is evaluated on its ESG credentials. The system assesses the corporate entity and the fund with a bias placed on the fund. A high score indicates a high level of emphasis is placed on ESG principles.
