A global, aggressive equity portfolio, tailored to the needs and risk profile of young investors looking to invest offshore.
LEARN MORE

ANCHOR ASPIRANTOFFSHORE EQUITY PORTFOLIO

The Aspirant Offshore Equity Portfolio is a concentrated version of the Anchor High Street Equity Portfolio. Due to the long-term view taken in constructing the portfolio, there will be periods where it may differ from the Anchor High Street Equity Portfolio. The portfolio is therefore an aggressive equity portfolio, tailored to the needs and risk profile of young professionals. The portfolio invests in global-listed businesses and is ideal for young investors looking to take on a higher degree of risk, in search of potentially high returns.Being a higher-risk investment, it is appropriate for clients with many years of earnings ahead of them and the ability to take on greater risk.

WHY SHOULD I INVEST?

The objective of the portfolio is to maximise total returns (predominantly via capital growth) for investors over the long term. The portfolio takes a long-term view and aims to outperform the MSCI World Index over a rolling two-year period. Short-term volatility is to be expected and the portfolio is therefore suitable for investors with a time horizon of at least 5 years. The portfolio is constructed from bottom-up, fundamental research with an investment philosophy that favours quality stocks with superior returns on capital, cashflows, and pricing power.

WHY SHOULD I INVEST?

This portfolio holds more equity exposure than a medium-risk portfolio but less than a high-risk portfolio. In turn, the expected volatility is higher than a medium-risk portfolio, but less than a high-risk portfolio. The probability of losses is higher than that of a medium-risk portfolio, but less than a high-risk portfolio and the expected potential long-term investment returns could therefore be higher than a medium-risk portfolio. The portfolio is exposed to equity as well as default and interest rate risks. It is suitable for medium- to long-term investment horizons.
