Baker Hudson aims to help you choose the right investments in order to meet your objectives and it is important to give some thought to what these objectives are in order for us to draw up a suitable plan.
We will then match your Attitude to Risk to your investments, whilst bearing in mind that the safer the investment the lower the potential for gain and for loss. A higher risk investment will have the potential for greater gain and loss.
Broadly speaking, the longer that your investment is to be left alone (e.g. for retirement), you may be able to take a slightly higher risk as should your investment fall there is time for it to re-gain any loss. If however the money is needed in full in the near future (e.g. for a house deposit) then short-term safety is essential.
In short, we will help you determine an investment strategy appropriate for your needs and using the investments best suited to your investment attitude and tax position.
Whilst Baker Hudson offer Whole of Market advice looking for the most suitable solution based on your own individual objectives, we also offer a range of in-house investment portfolios (see section below).

Baker Hudson have created two core portfolios; an Equity Portfolio and a Bond Portfolio. Each consists of a diversified basket of funds, managed by carefully selected external fund managers. These core portfolios are then blended together to produce five risk profiled solutions.
The Equity Portfolio is strategically allocated across several geographic markets including the UK, Europe, North American, Asia, Japan and Emerging market countries.
The Bond Portfolio invests primarily in developed economy government and corporate bonds with a strong bias of investment grade bonds.
A BH 1 - Defensive portfolio is designed for an investor with a very low risk tolerance. The portfolio aims to provide capital protection and deliver modest growth ahead of the rate of inflation whilst taking a level of risk consistent with a defensive risk attitude.
The fund predominantly consists of lower risk investment with the majority invested in Developed Economy Government Bonds and Investment Grade Corporate Bonds with a much lower proportion invested in medium to high risk investments such as Equities.
There will be a very low proportion invested in Emerging Markets.
A BH 2 - Cautious portfolio is designed for an investor with a relatively low risk tolerance. The portfolio aims to deliver growth ahead of the rate of inflation whilst taking a level of risk consistent with a cautious risk attitude.
The fund has a bias towards lower risk investments with the majority invested in Developed Economy Government Bonds and Investment Grade Corporate Bonds with a lower proportion invested in medium to high risk investments such as Equities from UK and Developed Economies. There will be a small proportion invested in Emerging Markets.
A BH 3 - Balanced portfolio is designed for an investor with a moderate risk tolerance. The portfolio aims to deliver growth ahead of the rate of inflation whilst taking a level of risk consistent with a moderate risk attitude.
