WEALTH MANAGEMENT
SOLID PILLARS OF MANAGING WEALTH
SORBUS clients get all of our energy and talent focused on their financial future.
SITUATION ANALYSIS
Gaining a full understanding of your current financial situation and your prioritised goals is essential. It is the solid root structure to your long term financial management. We feel it is hard to overstate the value created when full clarity is achieved.
EVALUATION
Circumstances, information and markets change continuously. Timely and regular reviews of the performance of your implemented plan alongside any revisions to your situation analysis are essential. As with life in general, high levels of care and attention create an environment that encourages solidity and growth.
DESIGN
We take the Situation analysis and design a completely bespoke financial layout that best fits your financial objectives. In time, with a full dialogue with you, a financial plan is completed. Wealth management is not unique here, investing high quality time at the design phase provides long term benefits.
EXECUTION
The financial plan is implemented. Relevant financial structures and accounts are set up and the designed financial plan is taken live.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
TRUE GROWTH COMES FROM CONTINUAL NURTURE
We believe in an unceasing focus on strategic and tactical asset allocation and investment selection.
Good investment management is the provision of a portfolio whose expected risk adjusted returns best fits the investment objectives and risk appetite of a client.
SORBUS runs discretionary and advisory mandates for the long term.
STRATEGIC ASSET ALLOCATION
What is the ratio of investment in risk asset classes versus low risk asset classes that is most likely to deliver the required investment profile over the long term?
TACTICAL ASSET ALLOCATION
Does the current state of the world suggest a deviation from the Strategic Asset Allocation and, if so, which asset classes and by how much?
INVESTMENT SELECTION
Which portfolio is best placed to deliver the overall performance of each asset class? What balance of direct holding, low cost diversified funds and actively managed funds is suitable? Which individual holdings are preferred, and why?
This investment may fall as well as rise, you may not get back what you put in.

A truly active deep value investment fund with a difference.

HOW CAN SORBUS.org HELP?
We provide a variety of services covering all the day-to-day administration of running a charity, including organising trustee meetings and preparing agendas and minutes, preparing management accounts, arranging annual audits, administering grants and bursaries, employee administration and payroll, and dealing with general administration and correspondence.

INSIGHT
SORBUS spotlight: The Uncertainties in 2025
It is traditional for investment banks, brokers and research houses to put out their year ahead outlooks in December. In general, such documents mostly repeat the consensus and attempt to stand out with a few bold calls. It is equally traditional for many of these bold calls to have proved wrong by the end of January.
SORBUS spotlight: Trump
It was not too long ago that “political risk”, the notion that an election result or a political decision could seriously impact upon asset market returns was primarily the concern of investors in emerging markets.
BUDGET REFLECTIONS
Labour won a loveless but decisive majority in the UK general election in July promising to be “stable and boring”. Their budget was both and neither.
MARKET COMMENTARY
Market commentary: 1st July to 30th September 2024
Having signalled forthcoming rate cuts for nearly two years, and failing to deliver, the Fed finally got “on message” and cut base rates by 0.5% (50bps) in September.
SORBUS VECTOR: Manager commentary August 2024
We have made two new additions to the fund over the last couple of months:
Spectra Systems; and
Rightmove.
Market commentary: 1st April to 30th June 2024
In the last two commentary pieces, we said that the direction of stock markets has depended on two questions:
1)Whither the Magnificent Seven (or Fab Five)?
2) Have markets fully absorbed that the period of declining and/or ultra low interest rates are behind us?
Repetitious as it may be, but these two questions persist.
