Managed Portfolios

INSTITUTIONAL-GRADE PORTFOLIOS. BUILT FOR YOUR SITUATION, NOT THE AVERAGE CLIENT.

Discretionary portfolio management that reflects your goals, your timeline, and where in the world you are.

The Problem With Off-The-Shelf Portfolios

Most retail investment products are built for a domestic investor with a 20-year horizon and a single currency. They don't account for the fact that you might need liquidity in sterling in three years, that your income is in dirhams, or that you'll retire in a country you haven't decided on yet. Expat investment needs are not niche — they are structurally different.

Our managed portfolios start with your actual situation. Currency exposure. Liquidity requirements. Tax residence. Time horizon. Jurisdiction of likely retirement. Only once we understand these do we build a portfolio strategy — and we revisit it every time your circumstances change.

Portfolio Strategies

Cautious

Capital preservation with lower volatility. Suited to shorter time horizons or clients prioritising stability over growth.

Balanced

A blend of income and growth across asset classes. Moderate risk profile, medium investment horizon.

Growth

Long-term capital appreciation for clients with a higher risk tolerance and an extended investment timeframe.

How We Manage Your Portfolio

1

Understand your full financial picture

We map your assets, liabilities, income sources, currency exposure and financial obligations across every jurisdiction before we make a single investment decision.

2

Define risk profile and investment objectives

We establish what you are trying to achieve, over what timeframe, with what level of acceptable volatility — and we document it clearly.

3

Build and implement the portfolio

We construct and execute the portfolio with appropriate diversification across asset classes, geographies and currencies aligned to your objectives.

4

Monitor, rebalance and report quarterly

Markets move. Your life changes. We review your portfolio quarterly and report back in plain English — performance, positioning and any recommended adjustments.

Start with a conversation about your situation.

We'll tell you honestly whether a managed portfolio is the right approach — and what it would look like for you specifically.

How Managed Portfolios Work for Expats

A managed portfolio is an investment account where a professional manager makes day-to-day allocation decisions on your behalf, within an agreed mandate. For expats and internationally mobile professionals, managed portfolios offer a practical alternative to self-managing investments across multiple currency environments.

The Compass Group builds and manages portfolios through FSC-licensed structures in Mauritius, providing access to offshore investment wrappers that are designed for clients without a fixed country of residence. These structures offer tax efficiency, portability between jurisdictions, and consolidation of assets that might otherwise be scattered across multiple accounts.

Risk-Rated Mandates

Every client portfolio is built against a risk mandate agreed during the initial fact-find process. We use a five-tier scale from capital preservation through to growth-oriented, and the portfolio construction — across equities, fixed income, alternatives, and cash — reflects that mandate consistently. Risk is reviewed at each annual review and adjusted if the client circumstances or objectives change.
