Our Investment Style

GROWTH VS VALUE

Planning for the medium (5 years) to long term, we are generally Contrarian Investors looking for value, and we do not follow the crowd. This method of investing generally provides better value over the long term rather than investing for growth over the short term.

ACTIVE INVESTMENT

Pigotts’ high quality investment service employs active investing and focuses on its Model Portfolios of carefully chosen closed-end funds. We do not provide Passive Investment e.g. index trackers, absolute return funds, structured products and other allied investments.

ASSET ALLOCATION

This is of primary importance. Stock picking skills are secondary. We invest in equities and other asset classes on a global basis through closed-end funds to provide a diversified portfolio allied to the aims of each client. We have model portfolios for capital growth and for income.

Investment Makeover

It is always beneficial to review where you are and if it is where you want to be. If you are affected by your Current income, pensions, or wish to have a clearer fee structure, you may well require an Investment Makeover.

Increase your income

With the SEI portfolios we put your capital to work while providing more income than you would otherwise receive in a Bank or Building Society. In addition, some capital gains should be expected over the medium to long term.

Increase Your Capital

The Growth portfolio (G3) provides a higher level of capital growth. As expected, if the reward potential is greater, then the risk factor will be slightly higher too. This style of investing is for the larger portfolio as full diversity can be achieved more economically.

Defend your Capital

The Defensive portfolio (D7) provides a higher level of defence while still growing your capital over the medium to long term. As expected, if the risk factor is lower, then the overall reward will be slightly lower too.

Pensions

In the past we have had a very contrarian view on pensions mainly because of the double taxation on income and the death penalties if you wanted to pass them on to your family.

Your Children's Future

You can open an account for each child under the name of the parents (as Bare Trustees) and either add regular deposits or a lump sum, or indeed both. This can then be invested under a portfolio of your choice.

There are many products and packages in the market that cater for this event. However, we believe them to be almost as penalising as the care home fees themselves.

School Fees

We have a method for calculating the approximate amount you will need to invest each month in order to meet the high demand of school fees. It is important to start this as soon as possible.

Charities

We understand the day-to-day running of charities is difficult when it comes to managing cash flow and therefore it is crucial that you should have investments that produce as much income as possible.
