Our investment philosophy

Our investment philosophy

We don't try to outsmart the market.

For Cirencester residents with significant assets, we provide sophisticated portfolio management without the excessive fees. Our investment strategies are built on Nobel Prize-winning academic research and over 100 years of market data.

Four principles that guide every investment decision

01

Evidence over opinion

Our approach is built on Nobel Prize-winning research from economists like Eugene Fama, Kenneth French, and Harry Markowitz. Over 100 years of market data shows what actually drives returns.

02

Global diversification

The UK represents just 4% of global markets. Your portfolio holds over 10,000 companies across 40+ countries. As Markowitz proved, diversification is the only "free lunch" in investing.

Low costs matter

Research shows high costs are the strongest predictor of poor fund performance. Most active managers fail to beat the market after fees. Our fund costs are typically 0.2-0.4%; FCA data shows the average active fund charge is 0.89%.

of funds underperform their benchmark over 15 years

Stay the course

Since 1926, markets have experienced 7 major declines averaging 35%. Every single one was followed by a recovery. The average recovery took just 1.5 years. Patience is rewarded.

Investment advice for Cirencester

Living in Cirencester means you've worked hard to build your wealth. Whether from property investments, business success, or a lifetime of saving, your capital deserves institutional-quality investment management.

We provide the same evidence-based strategies used by the world's largest pension funds, but accessible to private investors in Cirencester and the surrounding Cotswolds area. Combined with transparent fixed-fee pricing, you keep more of your returns.

Investment questions from Cirencester clients

Do you work with high-net-worth Cirencester clients?

Yes. Many of our Cirencester clients have significant portfolios from property sales, business exits, or inheritance. We specialise in managing larger portfolios efficiently, ensuring your wealth is working as hard as it can. This forms a key part of your comprehensive financial plan.

Why don't you use stockbrokers or wealth managers?

Traditional stockbrokers and discretionary wealth managers typically charge 1-2% annually, significantly eroding your returns over time. The evidence shows that after costs, the vast majority underperform simple index funds. We'd rather give you the market return at low cost. Learn more about our investment approach.

How do you protect Cirencester property wealth?

For clients who've built wealth through Cirencester property, we help diversify beyond UK real estate into global markets. We match your portfolio's risk level to your needs and rebalance regularly. This is especially important when planning retirement income.

What are your investment management fees?

We charge transparent fixed fees for ongoing portfolio management, agreed upfront. Underlying fund costs are typically 0.2-0.4%; FCA data shows the average active fund charge is 0.89%. For larger portfolios, this can save tens of thousands over time. See our full fee structure.

Tim and the team at rockwealth have been looking after our financial affairs for several years now. They made some changes to what we were doing previously and they're doing an amazing job and we can relax knowing that our finances are being taken care of thoughtfully and professionally. They are really proactive and always looking for the best ways to make maximum returns from our assets.

Mike & Rachel Tuffy

The world of pensions and investments is a minefield and one which we shied away from for too long. Matt managed to make the very complicated and confusing topic actually really easy to understand. We have no hesitation in recommending rockwealth and we feel secure in the fact that we have professionals looking after our hard earned cash who are able to talk to us and encourage us to think about life and what we want to get out of it.
