Black Mane works with a small number of leading investment managers ranging from boutique fund managers through to leading private banks. These managers offer a diverse range of investment solutions designed to increase wealth, whilst focusing on protecting capital. Alternative asset class investments may sit well within discretionary and / or advisory portfolios, whilst investment services solutions may provide outsourcing solutions for advisers, or direct access to qualifying investors.

Black Mane works with Investment managers that fall into 4 core categories:

• Alternative Investments

Alternative asset classes are typically non-correlated to equity markets, and therefore provide strong diversification opportunities to portfolio’s. We consider all manner of alternative investment funds, however have an emphasis on managed futures and esoteric investments, such as litigation funding and fine wine.

• Property Investments

The current troubled banking and property environments have resulted in a range of opportunities for investors and co-investors to invest directly or indirectly through fund vehicles into the property markets. For further information click here

• Tax Advantaged Investments

Legislation based tax advantaged investments such as VCT’s, EIS and BPRA investments provide opportunities to significantly reduce tax liabilities. Such investments must be investment-led (i.e. there must be a robust investment case) as opposed to purely focused on tax benefit. For further information click here

• Discretionary Fund Management

Active management of a globally diversified portfolio, in which risk and return are quantified to ensure the portfolio is aligned to clients expectations. For further information click here
