The Multi Manager Approach

Lawrence House Fund Managers offers investors actively managed and diversified investment portfolios using collective investments.  Collective investments are so called because they are formed of a large number of individuals , collectively investing in order to have the advantages of size for their mutual benefit.  These advantages include being able to employ professional fund managers and administrators who would be too expensive for the individuals to employ.  Collective investments are better known in the United Kingdom as unit trusts, open-ended investment companies (or OEICS), and investment trusts.  In the United States they are called 'Mutual Funds' and this term is sometimes used in the UK.

There are literally thousands of collective investments available from hundreds of fund management companies investing in various types of assets.  These assets include fixed interest securities, property, and shares in all the world's major stock markets like the UK, America and Japan, as well as less developed financial markets in South East Asia and Eastern Europe.  Wherever there is a stock market you are likely to find a collective investment fund investing there. 

The Multi Manager Approach recognises that no one fund management company is the best in all areas.  The approach involves identifying the best fund manager in the different regions, sectors and assets classes available for investment. By using this approach Lawrence House is able to harness the talents of the best fund managers in the market,  We are able to build and manage funds and portfolios tailor made to the needs of investors in an effective and cost efficient way.

Diversification, which is essential for a balanced portfolio, is achieved on several levels.  Across assets classes, across fund managers and through the funds within each portfolio.
