We believe in being as transparent around fees as possible so we are happy to disclose our fees online.

There is not yet a regulatory requirement in Hong Kong for independent advisers or banks to fully disclose all fees and remuneration.

We operate a tiered charging structure to reduce the cost associated with managing larger portfolios and reflecting the efficiencies of scale.

We believe in the power of capital markets to deliver positive long-term returns that lead to wealth accumulation. For the equities market, in particular, we believe that public markets exhibit efficient characteristics over the long term. For the individual investor, it is thus not desirable to try to forecast or outguess other market participants.

We focus our efforts on building data-driven portfolios to get broad market exposure with a tilt towards characteristics that have been proven to capture premiums undervalued by the equities markets. We believe in creating diversified investment portfolios, which generate the highest possible expected return for every level of risk taken by an investor.

For Private Capital, this means continuously searching the investment universe for instruments that will improve risk-return tradeoff in our portfolios. We understand that fees dramatically affect long-term returns, and endeavor to continuously lower fees for our customers by leveraging our collective scale to create cost synergies.
