Gardening and investment both require an eye on the future

The Seeds Of A Solid Future
Q GARDENS teach ‘patience and great watchfulness’, said Gertrude Jekyll, former contributor to COUNTRY LIFE. How do these qualities help an investment manager?

A Beautiful gardens are not made overnight, and neither are investment returns. Although long-term investing does require a degree of patience, the advantages are significant.

It requires courage and conviction to stay invested when markets are experiencing lows, but, if you look at where the markets are now compared to where they were in 2008/2009, it’s clear it can pay off.

Keeping on top of emerging trends, such as new developments in technology, is also important and a key part of our role is identifying these trends and anticipating their potential impact on the markets and the underlying businesses.

Q Gardens provide great benefits. What are the benefits of successful investment management?

A Our clients often say that financial stability is priceless and there is a peace of mind that comes from knowing your investments are being looked after by an investment professional whom you trust.
