In the language of money, wealth creation is about investment returns. At Beaufort we recognise this, whether those returns are achieved through effective Portfolio Investment Management for our Institutional and Private Clients or when raising funds for our clients in the Corporate sector. As the challenges facing the world become more complex – whether they are financial, economic, political or social – the approach to achieving those investment returns has had to become more sophisticated and more proactive. While old-style values remain highly relevant, slavish dependence on ‘Old School’ thinking just doesn’t hack it anymore. Indeed, after the turmoil in markets in 2007 and 2008, clients need to feel confident that their money managers and corporate financiers will match up to the challenges they are likely to face. An independent investment house established in 1998, Beaufort has been providing high quality advice to clients for over ten years. By virtue of the broad experience of its team, gained around the world over many years, Beaufort has a wide range of global contacts. While some of these are our clients, others are a valuable source of support to our business activities for the benefit of our clients.
