Smarter Investment Strategies for Life After Work
Wealth isn't just about numbers on a screen; it’s about freedom, clarity, and the confidence to live life on your terms.
Whether you’re planning for retirement, supporting your family, or simply want to make your money work harder, smart investment decisions come from approaching your finances with purpose, insight, and care.
At New Vision, we work with clients who value more than just financial returns. Our ‘Investment Fund Advice & Monitoring Service’ is designed for those who want a clear, collaborative, and data-led approach to investing.
How Do I Know I'm Making the Right Investment Decisions?
Investing well is about more than reacting to the markets. It’s about knowing your goals, staying informed, and making steady, confident decisions that align with the life you want to live.
Ask yourself:
Do I believe that real wealth is about more than just money?
Do I want to understand where my money is going and why?
Do I value peace of mind, knowing my investments are regularly reviewed?
Do I prefer advice that’s backed by real data rather than just opinion?
Do I want to stay in control without being overwhelmed?
If these resonate with you, then you’re already approaching investments with the clarity and purpose that leads to long-term success. You’re likely looking for a trusted partner, someone like New Vision to guide you, and not just manage your financial future.
How Our Investment Process Works...
Modern markets are faster-moving, more complex, and less predictable than they used to be. That’s why we don’t rely on outdated "buy and hold" strategies. Instead, our service is built around a monthly, proactive review of your portfolio, giving you confidence that your investments remain fit for purpose.
Here’s how it works:
Step One > Monthly Fund Reviews
We assess each fund using key metrics like Alpha, Beta, and the Sortino Ratio to spot underperformance early.
Step Two > Clear Switch Recommendations
If a fund no longer meets the standards, you receive a straightforward recommendation and a proposed alternative.
Step Three > You Remain in Control
You review the recommendation and choose whether to proceed. Authorising a switch is as easy as clicking a button.
Step Four > Tax Awareness Built In
Step Five > Ongoing Clarity
Even if no action is required, we keep you informed. No surprises, just peace of mind.
This approach gives you the best of both worlds: proactive fund monitoring backed by expert insight, with you firmly in the driver’s seat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this protect me from all losses?
No strategy can eliminate risk, but ours aims to reduce prolonged exposure to poorly performing funds and avoid emotional, reactive decisions.
Why not stick with a traditional approach?
Today’s investment environment is different. We use a stop-loss approach that helps exit failing funds quickly, before substantial losses accumulate.
Do I need to track the markets myself?
No. We handle the monitoring and analysis. You only get involved when it matters.
What if an entire sector is underperforming?
We don’t exit sectors entirely. Instead, we adjust weightings to maintain a diversified, balanced portfolio, essential to long-term success.
Stay in Control Without the Stress
Our clients are thoughtful professionals approaching or enjoying retirement.
Many are asking:
Can I help my family without compromising my future?
What if markets drop again, will I lose what I’I've built?
Should I be making changes, or is it best to stay the course?
These are smart questions. Our role is to guide you through them with regular communication, expert insights, and a process that evolves with your life.
Through annual risk reviews and monthly fund assessments, your investments stay aligned with what matters most to you.
