Investment philosophy At Alexander Forbes Investments our focus is on managing our clients’ financial goals. In pursuit of certainty we set out to understand your circumstances and risk tolerance to set our clear goals. We integrate your investment journey and outcome, as well as the overall client experience to break the cycle of not being able to retire comfortably, of disappointing investment outcomes and of indecisiveness, fear and anxiety around investment matters. Because investments are managed to achieve an outcome, the options available for implementation are vast, making our approach more flexible and adaptive to different market cycles than a traditional investment approach.
