    Our investment philosophy

    Investment philosophy
    As investment markets are in a state of constant change,
    Milford adopts an active approach to investing.

    This allows Milford to take advantage of investment
    opportunities as they arise, and seek to provide a level of capital
    protection when markets are less favourable.

    The key principles that underpin our investment
    philosophy are:

    1.   We adopt an active portfolio management approach.                5.   We seek to manage risk through appropriate portfolio
                                                                               diversification.
    2.   We adopt a more defensive approach to seek to provide a
         degree of capital protection in less favourable markets and      6.   We focus on key competencies and in instances where

    4.   We seek to understand the changes in the local and global
         economic environments and how these changes are likely
         to impact the markets in which our clients’ assets are
