Perspective Investment Management Solutions (PIMS) is the specialist service provided by Perspective Financial Management Ltd and Cambridge Investments Ltd, (part of the Perspective Financial Group), who are responsible for the design and management of bespoke investment management structures.PIMS provides a simple, defined choice of Investment Management styles, enabling clients to choose a management system that suits current circumstances, but with the ability to change service if those circumstances change in the future. 3. INTRODUCTION Similar to many investors, you may have accumulated a number of assets and investments, whichhave been built up over a period of time. Ideally these assets will be placed in a portfolio that accurately reflects your personal investment objectives reviewed on a regular basis administratively managed so that you are not trying to continually climb a paper mountain ofstatements and valuations The reality, of course, is often very different. As your investments build in both number and size, managing your portfolio can demand a greaterlevel of expertise and time; and just keeping on top of paperwork can be more than a simple task.Even if you feel very confident of making investment decisions alone, rapid changes in market conditions may mean that you do not have the time to react with the necessary speed, or you may just feel that there are plenty of other things that you would rather do with your free time.QUALITY...

Asset Allocation Process The objective of PIMS 1 is to create and maintain asset allocation models which accurately reflect individual client attitudes to risk. By using a profiling questionnaire, clients are allocated a risk level from 1- 9, with 9 being the highest risk.As a guide, we used established benchmarks such as the Association of Private Clients, Investment Managers & Stockbrokers (APCIMS) models, and IMA sector classifications such as Cautious Managed, UK All Companies and Global Growth. We were able to create portfolios with different mix of assets, which could then be tested against the permitted level of volatility for each classification.The final asset allocation models are therefore bespoke portfolios, using one or more of the Elevation funds. Performance is measured against fixed benchmarks, but our Fund Managers have complete flexibility to invest within the range of assets permitted for each fund.All three funds are currently managed by our chosen Fund Managers at Vestra Wealth LLP, which gives us an advantage when blending the funds. As the Fund Managers are in regular communication, we can ensure that there is no duplication of asset allocation when funds are rebalanced.The ELEVATION Fund ManagersSanjay Rijhsinghani Andrew Archer After completing his Masters at Imperial College London, Sanjay joinedAfter graduating from Northumbria University in accountancy, Andrew joined GEM Dolphin Investment Managers in October 1994 as a trainee Fund Laing & Cruickshank in 2001, as a trainee Investment Manager.
