Philosophy - Goldwinds Asset Management

Investment Philosophy

We believe experience is the best way to make money in the long term, rather than through the use of complex forecasting tools. History tends to repeat itself, and an experienced money manager will have a better chance of avoiding the pitfalls and taking advantage of market opportunities in order to refine and strengthen portfolios.

Markets demand that money managers make tough decisions, and we believe that sophisticated risk management is largely based on experience, which is then combined with risk models.

Our team of managers are able to execute difficult decisions and apply discipline to their use of stop losses, down averaging and spend to buy systemic risk insurance, which allows investments to run their course. We believe markets often do not accurately price risk versus reward, and this presents opportunities to produce long-term growth. We constantly look for new and better investment solutions.

The partners at Goldwinds Asset Management also manage their own capital through the firm, so our drive to keep down costs are aligned with our clients. What makes us different as a firm is our drive to understand our clients' needs. We will not go out into the market until we have sat down with clients and talked through exactly what they expect from their investments. As a client's financial requirements develop over time our managers are always on hand to offer expert guidance.

Our search for high-performance investments can lead us into unconventional niche opportunities that are often overlooked by major investment banks, because of the large scale of their business. We constantly look for long-term growth, but have the short-term investment skills to efficiently manage volatile market movements.
