WHAT

We do

Investment Advisory

Each individual and each family is unique. Each has its own wants, needs, constraints and risk tolerance. Many also have operating businesses or legacy assets. That’s why, as the first step in any relationship, we build a unique Investment Policy Statement for the family. We review that target model on a regular basis in line with changing markets, opportunities and threats and evolving family circumstances. Sometimes, there are family entities and foundations with an overlay of unique requirements or constraints for which we will make necessary adaptations.

 

From this basis we begin the work of portfolio construction. First, we review the family’s existing portfolio. And to the extent that it aint broke, we don’t fix it. But inevitably there are necessary changes, sometimes at the margins but often fundamental. We go about making those changes, guiding the portfolio over time towards the family’s target allocation. In doing so we use our deep bench of approved passive instruments, third party funds and account managers to construct a diversified portfolio.

FINANCIAL CONCIERGE

Our client families live globally and invest globally. Goldrock is built to support them. We coordinate a range of complex international tax matters. We work alongside tax professionals to deliver comprehensive estate planning solutions that meet the needs of all family members and accounts for their unique asset base.

Administration And Reporting

High net worth families often face the challenge of complexity: How can I to get a clear understanding of a diverse portfolio when it is spread throughout the world? How can I risk manage my holdings when they are held in different banks and institutions?

Using state of the art technology tools, Goldrock provides families a 360-degree view of their financial lives. We consolidate data from banks, funds and businesses around the world to give clients a timely single report that explains their financial lives. Access to information is timely and online, using our Goldrock+ Portal.

Using this information, we are able to conduct in-depth analysis of client family portfolios, which form the basis for ongoing investment decision making.

Since 2020, Goldrock has produced Definitely Uncertain, The Private Wealth Podcast. The podcast helps to unravel the many uncertainties facing high net worth families. Episodes cover a wide range of relevant topics – investment strategies, macro trends, banking, philanthropy
