Bespoke Investment planning
To achieve your vision for the future, you need a disciplined investment plan structured around your unique goals and life situation. At Bastion Financial Group, we’ll help you create a personalised plan designed to fit your lifestyle, investment objectives, time-frame and resources.
If your investments aren’t delivering the returns you expect, we can help get you get back on track, identifying underperforming assets and finding new options for maximising your growth potential without excessive risk.
Importantly, the core tenet behind our investment philosophy is that your investment portfolio speaks back to your goals and objectives.
How we help
Our partnership is built on understanding. From our first meeting, we take the time to explore your individual financial and lifestyle aspirations. Then we follow a disciplined, four-step process to create a personalised strategy, tailored for you.
Understanding. We begin by developing a deep understanding of the important issues that will shape your financial plan, including your goals, priorities, financial resources and attitude toward risk.
Strategy. Next, we build on our understanding to create a personalised strategy, structured around your goals. In formulating your strategy, we’ll draw on the market insights and research capabilities of the Godfrey Pembroke network, as well as the collective experience of Bastion Financial Group.
Implementation. Once we have agreed on a strategy with you, we put it into action, creating a customised portfolio tailored to your needs.
Review. We continuously monitor your portfolio to make sure you’re on track to achieve your objectives. Then we meet regularly with you and your family to review its performance, explore new opportunities, identify emerging risks, and understand your evolving needs.
Our point of difference
We can help you explore a wide range of investment options, including:
Direct equities. Customised portfolios designed to generate either capital growth or a tax-effective income stream, depending on your needs.
International investments. Both Listed and Un-Listed options in leading investment markets around the world, including established blue-chips and new opportunities in emerging economies, with consideration given to managing exchange rate movements.
IPOs and capital raisings. Exclusive investment opportunities from fast-moving emerging companies.
Property. Residential and commercial property investments, including property held through a self-managed super fund (SMSF).
Managed funds. Cost-effective exposure to a diverse range of assets through professionally managed funds, including wholesale funds otherwise unavailable to individual investors.
Exchange-traded funds. Combining the flexibility and liquidity of shares with the diversification benefits of managed funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are an increasingly popular investment option.
Fixed interest and hybrids. Often perceived as a purely defensive investment, bonds and other fixed-interest investments can also generate superior long-term returns with reduced risk.
Capital-protected investments. Geared investments with the security of built-in capital protection.
Structured investments. Specialised investments structured to generate income or capital gains over a specified time-frame, often with tax benefits.
