Private Wealth Management

Wealth managed as though it were our own.

A single partner, a dedicated investment team, and a mandate defined entirely by your objectives, your family and your horizon.

The practice

Advice without conflict, portfolios without compromise.

Private wealth management at John Investments begins not with a product but with a conversation. We seek to understand the shape of your wealth, the obligations it carries, the people who depend on it and the purpose you intend it to serve.

From that understanding we construct and manage a portfolio drawn from the whole of the market. Because we sell nothing of our own, every position is held for one reason only: because we believe it is right for you.

How we help

Three ways we serve private clients.

01

Discretionary management

You delegate day-to-day decisions to us within a mandate we agree together. We manage the portfolio actively, report transparently, and remain accountable for outcomes.

02

Advisory portfolios

You retain the final decision on every transaction, supported by our research, ideas and access. Suited to clients who wish to remain closely involved.

03

Wealth planning & succession

Structuring, liquidity, philanthropy and the orderly transfer of wealth to the next generation, coordinated with your legal and tax advisers.

How we begin

A considered path into the relationship.

01

Discovery

We listen. We map your assets, liabilities, obligations and objectives, and the risks you are willing to take.

02

Proposal

We present a written investment policy and a proposed allocation, with the reasoning behind every decision.

03

Implementation

We open accounts, transition existing holdings with care for tax and cost, and put the portfolio to work.

04

Stewardship

We monitor, rebalance and report, and we review the strategy with you formally at least twice a year.

Why John Investments

What sets the relationship apart.

01

Genuine independence

No proprietary funds, no distribution agreements, no incentive to recommend anything other than what serves you.

02

Continuity of people

Our partners stay. The person who understands your family today will, in all likelihood, still be advising it in a decade.

03

Institutional access

Private markets, co-investments and managers ordinarily reserved for institutions, made available within a private relationship.

04

Radical transparency

Fees, performance and positioning are shown plainly. You will always understand what you own and what it costs.

In practice

We arrived with a business sale to manage and no plan for what came after. Five years on, our capital is working, our children understand it, and we sleep.

Questions

What clients ask us first.

Discretionary relationships typically begin at USD 5 million of investable assets, though we consider each situation on its merits, particularly where a liquidity event or family structure is anticipated.
We are remunerated by a transparent management fee, agreed in advance and expressed as a percentage of assets under management. We do not accept retrocessions, commissions or payments from product providers. Where any third-party cost is unavoidable, it is disclosed to you in full.
Yes. Every relationship is led by a dedicated partner supported by a named investment and service team. You will not be passed between departments.
Your assets are held in your name at established third-party custodian banks. We never take custody of client assets, which provides an important structural safeguard.
Routinely. We see ourselves as one part of a client's professional ecosystem and coordinate closely with your existing advisers rather than seeking to replace them.

Begin the relationship
