Prism Portfolios
Prism investment portfolios have consistently ridden out the ups and downs of global markets and delivered positive longer-term results for our clients.
Carefully Constructed ● Professionally Managed ● Reassuringly Successful
As an investor with Prism, we want you to have total confidence in the way we manage your investments, so that you never have to worry about how and where your money is invested or if we are working in your best interests at all times. We understand and accept that clients place their trust in us to manage their financial arrangements with skill, care and due diligence and we take that obligation very seriously.
It is against this backdrop that we developed our client investment portfolios in late 2006, which have consistently delivered excellent long-term performance over different time horizons and through different market conditions.
Our investment philosophy is driven by a set of core principles and beliefs that guide our decision-making process, and its application in practice is reflected in the way our investment portfolios are constructed and managed.
It promotes patience and discipline in managing our proposition and it provides a roadmap to help us stay on track with our investment objectives, particularly when confronted with market volatility, and it helps to control negative emotions such as fear and greed, which can sometimes override logic and reason.
During your investment journey, market volatility will create highs and lows in your portfolio value which is entirely normal when investing in real assets. Please remember that you are investing for the long term, so it's the end results that matters, not necessarily the journey.
Risk Warning: The value of your investments and any income you take from them can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you invested. You should also note that past performance is not a reliable guide for future performance.
History tells us that you should never make decisions on long term investments based on short term falls in portfolio value. Long-term investing works time and time again, you just have to hold your nerve in volatile times.
“The stock market is a device to transfer money from the impatient to the patient.”
