Our Values
Aligned Interests
Our fee structure aligns our interest with yours, which builds trust. There are no upfront fees, no early exit penalties, no ongoing dealing charges. We charge a transparent annual management fee which allows us to be honest with our clients and build deep, long-term relationships. We advise on the investment solutions that best meet the specific needs of each individual client.
Working Together and Empowering People
We believe in empowering our clients through enabling access to insight, knowledge and the expertise of our team. We publish Ireland’s leading investment letter, and we share this resource and other thought-leading featured articles with our investment clients to keep them in touch with the marketplace and opportunities. We also place enormous value on education and regularly offer seminars and webinars which assist in understanding markets and sound investing principles which, in turn, builds confidence in our clients and trust in us, as advisors.
Integrity and Establishing Trust
We believe trust is earned. Our belief is that we work for clients, looking at each individuals’ needs and taking a common sense, long-term approach.
Credibility and Competence
We have built an outstanding team with the depth of knowledge, expertise and experience to meet all our clients’ investment needs. We have an appetite for learning and sharing and we always partner with our clients as equals.
