Investment Philosophy:
Sceptre aims to provide clients with long-term investment performance without assuming any unnecessary risk in the portfolio.

• Focus on companies with clean balance sheets, strong cash flow and earnings growth along with attractive valuations and experienced management.
• Manage risk carefully using a number of sophisticated models to identify the level of risk in each portfolio relative to the portfolio's performance objective.
• Use a blend approach with no pre-determined growth or value bias. Style is described as ownership of quality companies at valuation levels that compare favourably world-wide.
