Holistic Wealth Management

From asset allocation to liability matching, our comprehensive approach ensures your wealth is managed to minimise risks while optimising returns.

Liability-Driven Investment: A Strategic Approach for Private Investors

At Fowler Drew, we specialise in liability-driven investment (LDI) strategies that align your investment assets with your financial obligations. Widely used by institutional pension funds, this approach ensures that your wealth management strategy is both effective and resilient.

LDI focuses on matching the cash flow from your investments with your financial commitments. This alignment provides greater predictability and security, reducing exposure to market volatility and interest rate fluctuations. For private clients, LDI transforms wealth management into a precise and goal-oriented process.

Why We Choose LDI Over Traditional Wealth Management

Traditional wealth management often relies on assumptions about market returns, leaving performance vulnerable to unpredictability. In contrast, LDI prioritises risk management by matching assets to liabilities. This reduces exposure to market volatility and ensures that your investment strategy delivers predictable outcomes aligned with your financial goals.

Key Benefits of Liability-Driven Investment

  • Risk Mitigation: By aligning assets with liabilities, LDI minimises the impact of market volatility and interest rate changes on your portfolio.
  • Predictable Outcomes: LDI strategies are designed to deliver returns within a specified range, providing greater certainty in meeting financial obligations.
  • Holistic Financial Planning: Our approach integrates LDI into a comprehensive financial plan that considers all aspects of your wealth, ensuring every investment supports your overall objectives.
  • Flexibility and Control: With the ability to adapt to changing circumstances or goals, our LDI strategies offer the flexibility to maintain control over your financial future.

How Fowler Drew Implements LDI

At Fowler Drew, we leverage our expertise in liability-driven strategies to create customised investment plans that align with your personal financial goals. Our process includes:

Goal-Based Planning

Our Approach
1

Comprehensive Goal Setting

Your financial journey should reflect your values, ambitions, and the people who matter most to you. Imagine the benefits you want your money to provide at every stage of life—whether it's securing a comfortable retirement, funding your children's education, or supporting causes close to your heart. Our team of experts, supported by our advanced systems, helps you transform these aspirations into clearly defined goals.

Using sophisticated probabilistic modelling, we identify the optimal combination of resources, time, risk, and outcomes that will bring you the greatest satisfaction. This isn't about us deciding what's "suitable" for you; it's a collaborative process where you explore the consequences of different scenarios and express your preferences.

Once these variables are tailored to your unique needs, they guide the design and management of your goal-based portfolios.

2

Customised Investment Implementation

We establish a cost-effective network of third-party custody and dealing arrangements tailored to each individual contributing to your financial goals. Whether it's pensions, ISAs, JISAs or trusts, we ensure that all resources are strategically aligned.

3

Continuous Portfolio Management

As life unfolds and your personal circumstances evolve, so too should your investment portfolio. We understand that changing goal horizons and ambitions require a dynamic approach to ensure your financial plans remain on track. This is why we embrace Controlled Outcomes Investing—a process that transforms investment management into an ongoing journey of financial planning.
