As an organisation, one of Broadgate Financials key priorities is diligent risk management. Our in-house Strategy Panel, comprising senior analysts from our various divisions, meets regularly to discuss market conditions and trends. We regard this as a core responsibility to our offshore expatriate clients. The market instability of the past few years has caused us much debate and sometimes disagreement on such questions as:

• Where are the developed markets going?
• Where are the emerging markets going?
• What is the future of the Euro?
• Will China continue to fuel the recovery?
• What is the commodity outlook?

Our in-house view is circulated among all our managers, especially the portfolio managers in our offshore expatriate Private Wealth Management Group, as it is their duty to develop investment strategies that reflect appropriate levels of risk for our clients individual circumstances and objectives.

Diligent risk monitoring in relation to our individual clients portfolios is at the very core of our business.
