Exclusive to Fairstone clients: Ensures that the portfolios are managed on a genuinely long-term basis to meet the specific needs of our clients, not the lowest common denominator of the mass market. Actively managed: as the portfolios are managed on a real-time basis we are nimble enough to adapt to any changes in the market environment. There is no need to rebalance portfolios on an arbitrary basis, we focus on ensuring clients are always invested in the most appropriate assets. Clear investment process: By focusing on the key elements of return clients can appreciate how their returns are being generated, ensuring they are well informed in all market environments. Meaningful benchmarks: we use benchmarks related to inflation the Consumer Price Index (CPI) - because we aim to at least grow the purchasing power of clients savings over the long term.

Cost of ownership Keeping costs under control can contribute greatly to overall performance. The portfolio manager maintains a core holding of UK & US equities which have no ongoing charges to minimise portfolio holding costs; tracker funds and ETFs are used for the same reason. The result is that total portfolio holding costs (including annual management charges) do not exceed 1.17% at this time. Please note this cost excludes ongoing platform and financial advice fees. Initial charges and switching fees Like most portfolios constructed for HNW clients, this range contains a proportion of direct equities up to 40% by value. Together with investment trusts and ETFs, these exchange-traded instruments incur initial transaction fees upon purchase, including Government stamp duty amounting to between 0.22% % of the initial capital. Please consult your financial adviser for more detail on these initial charges.

From here there are three key elements to consider. Firstly, as interest rates rise will bond yields also increase, reflecting a more inflationary environment, or will the yield curve flatten further suggesting the current cycle is coming to an end. If bond yields do rise, perhaps ending the generational bond bull market, it is important to equity markets that growth remains higher otherwise valuations will become threatened. This year will see the tapering of central banks long-standing QE policies. The run-rate of capital being pumped into markets will fall from the current annualised level of $2tr to zero. We have little true understanding of the impact of QE as it is difficult to separate causation, correlation & coincidence. Perhaps the counter factual, in Quantitative Tightening, will give us a better idea. Finally, there is the US Dollar. The weakness last year undoubtedly supported emerging market growth and commodity prices. If the Dollar was to be stronger this year, on the back of continued US growth and sustained interest rate rises, this may act as a headwind to global growth. We enter 2018 with low volatility and an almost unprecedented period without a meaningful pullback in markets. History would suggest that this will be resolved at some point. The key will be establishing if that is a healthy correction or something more serious.
