philosophy

Advisory wisdom meets discretionary dynamism

Having pioneered investment advisory in India, we recognised the limitations of non-discretionary investment management for certain clientele. We discovered a specific group of clients who desired to minimise their time commitment and involvement in portfolio decisions. Being a company dedicated to addressing the complexities of managing substantial wealth for our clients, Waterfield developed a discretionary platform that leverages meticulous agility in portfolio execution to minimize opportunity loss arising due to delayed action. The platform needed to act like an outsourced investment office of the client and we're thrilled to have achieved precisely that.

“To leverage meticulous agility in portfolio execution, minimizing opportunity loss”

Opportunity does
not knock twice.
Make each one count

Imagine this. You receive a call from your wealth advisor suggesting a lucrative, risk-free investing opportunity for a period of only 3 days. They mention that few high-quality bonds (AAA rated) were available at attractive yields between 8.0% - 9.5% for a 3-year investment horizon, approximately 1.5% - 2% above their usual rate.

In a typical non-discretionary model, up to 10 days are spent formulating, reviewing, and approving the recommendation. By the time this cycle ends, the limited period opportunity to lock in munificent rates is lost and the advice becomes stale. This is not an isolated incident but rather a recurring pattern. Often, investors fail to recognize that these delays incur opportunity costs that accumulate and compound over time, leading to significant performance gaps.

Our fee-based, multi-asset discretionary investment services offer transparent, customizable, and fully governed investment solutions designed to align with your financial interests.
