Discover Frank Investments

Frank Investments extends the principles of its own investment management to those of its clients. Our interests are wholly aligned.

To enable a best-in-class service, the founders have built a small but experienced team of employees and associates to develop the capability of the firm and ensure the success of the business.

Frank Investments ‘Managed Balanced Total Return Portfolio’

Frank Investments offers our clients the opportunity to invest in an individually managed portfolio that is run in parallel with that of the founders, via our Frank Investments Managed Balanced Total Return Portfolio Strategy. Importantly, the individual portfolio would comprise of assets all directly held in the client’s name. We do not operate on a ‘Pooled’ or ‘Fund’ approach as we believe our clients are individuals, their needs and goals are unique and their investments should be tailored as well.

Our balanced investment strategy reflects our founders’ requirements to preserve the value and purchasing power of their wealth at a minimum cost.

The exposures and structure of client portfolios managed by Frank Investments exactly replicate those of the founders’ own portfolio. Moreover, the founders and their clients pay the same investment management fees. This ensures that clients’ risks, opportunities, and costs are wholly aligned with those of Frank Investments’ founders.

By operating individual portfolios each of our clients is provided with their own managed account on the Bank Julius Bär platform (our custodian). This ensures ownership is wholly retained by the client and they always have access to all of their assets.
