Quilter Investors Cirilium Portfolios

An actively managed globally diversified solution

Defaqto Expert Rated logoDesigned in consultation with investors and financial advisers, the Quilter Investors Cirilium range is comprised of five portfolios, each managed with a different type of investor in mind.

The Quilter Investors Cirilium Portfolios were launched in 2008 and each of the five portfolios invests in a range of investments managed by a variety of specialist fund managers from around the world.

While nobody can predict what markets are going to do at any particular point, the evidence from years of academic research and study clearly suggests that diversifying your investments – spreading the risk among different asset classes – can provide a smoother journey to your desired investment outcome over the longer term.

Key to choosing a diversified portfolio is understanding and accepting the level of risk that you are comfortable taking with your investments. This enables you to match your attitude and capacity for risk to the most suitable investment solution.

Ongoing monitoring and oversight

The composition of each portfolio is carefully monitored on an ongoing basis. Should the market environment or the underlying fund manager experience a change in circumstances, the Quilter Investors Cirilium portfolio managers are ready to make any necessary changes. They adjust the portfolios as needed to ensure your investments remain on track and in line with the targeted risk levels.

In addition, the portfolios are also subject to oversight by Quilter Investors’ Investment Oversight Committee. The committee is comprised of senior personnel who on a quarterly basis, review performance of the portfolios and question the decisions taken by the managers.

On a daily basis, the portfolios are assessed in order to monitor liquidity levels, frequency of trades and the number of positions held, against the investment guidelines.
