'Go it alone' investors

Taking account of our experience that spans in excess of 30 years, countless clients who had adopted a 'go it alone' investment path initially, advise that they had relied upon 'recommendations or 'tips' from colleagues and friends. They had not understood the painstaking 'due diligence' that is required in the selection of investment funds or themes.

What little 'research' that had occurred was generally allocating a very short period of time reading a few articles here and there and making decisions based upon scant details - these clients had seriously mis-judged the work required to perform correct analysis.

Given the complexities of these tasks such individuals could be excused as the skill sets required to perform true in depth research requires very disciplined and methodical approaches with access to important company and fund manager data that is generally not available to the general public and very expensive to obtain.

Private investors are therefore placed at an immediate disadvantage compared to professional DFM counterparts.
