Market timing is a common tactic employed by day traders but is inherently risky and research has shown that it is not profitable in the long term. Therefore, it does not affect investors nearly as much. For the long-term investor, many other strategies are far more appropriate, whilst reducing exposure to risk. Our advisers can help figure out which strategy would work best for you.

The stock market has beaten other traditional investments over a long period in terms of returns, but with thousands of stocks available globally, bad decisions are not hard to make. There is no such thing as a free lunch, nor a completely risk-free investment. Every choice has an opportunity cost, particularly what to do with your money. Despite this, when it comes to investing, risk can be minimised by employing appropriate asset allocation and diversification strategies.

No, it doesn’t have to be. Many advisers choose funds with an annual management charge of 1-2% as they get paid by the fund managers, which often leads to obscure charging structures. However, we at SJB Global believe in being transparent and fair. We can find you an equivalent or better fund, with the same risk appetite, that charges less than a quarter of that price, saving you potentially thousands a year.

We pass these savings directly on to our clients, meaning they are ahead of alternative strategies before even considering returns. These savings compound year-on-year just the same as higher investment return would, meaning we can reduce clients’ risk taken whilst achieving the same or even higher returns than they were getting before.

Our job is to choose the best solution at the lowest cost to ensure your profit potential is maximized, at a risk tolerance that suits you.
