Your investments actively managed for optimal performance
At Brown Shipley, we provide tailored investment management services designed to help you achieve your financial goals. With a legacy of excellence in private banking and wealth management, our tailored solutions ensure that your portfolio reflects your aspirations and risk tolerance while delivering long-term value.

We take the time to understand you so that we can properly assess the kind of investment portfolio and strategy you need to fit your lifestyle.
Overview of Investment Management
Investment management goes beyond simply selecting assets. It encompasses the strategic allocation of assets to optimise returns while minimising risks. At Brown Shipley, our approach is underpinned by a thorough understanding of global markets, portfolio construction and a commitment to aligning investments with your unique circumstances.
Key aspects of our investment management services include:
- Portfolio construction: Building diversified portfolios that balance risk and return.
- Dynamic asset allocation: Adjusting investment strategies in response to market conditions and your evolving objectives.
- Global expertise: Leveraging insights from our parent company, Quintet Group, to access global investment opportunities.
Together with BlackRock
Our parent company Quintet have worked with BlackRock to provide our clients with a broad range of exclusive solutions across a large number of asset classes.
Our clients now benefit from more sophisticated risk management and analysis tools.
Customised investment solutions
No two clients are the same, and our personalise approach reflects this. Our investment management team takes the time to understand your financial aspirations, life goals, and priorities. This allows us to create bespoke strategies for you.
Key features of our tailored solutions:
- Personalised risk assessment: We align your portfolio with your comfort level and long-term objectives.
- Open architecture: Access to a broad range of asset classes, funds, and investment products from leading providers.
- Flexibility: Whether you prefer a discretionary, advisory, or execution-only service, we adapt to your preferences.

As involved as you want to be

Alternatively, you can opt for our Advisory Service, where you can be more involved in making decisions, by having each recommendation referred to you before being executed. Or if you prefer, you could opt for Execution Only, where we just carry out trades on your instruction.

Important Information
Our Investment Management service involves investing your capital, which places it at risk. Investment risk means the value of your investments or any income can fluctuate and you may not get back some or all of the amount invested. We recommend our clients seek professional tax advice to understand their personal liability for investment income and/or gains. This will depend on personal circumstances and the prevailing tax rules, which are subject to change.
