Need help with an underperforming portfolio?

“Unprecedented events occur with some regularity, so be prepared.” Seth Klarman

Wisdom abounds with reassuring words when markets drop, and investors see their statements pointing in the wrong direction. It’s easy to listen to the gurus and remind yourself that things will eventually turn, but what do you do when you need a quicker turnaround and can’t wait for the markets to correct? What if your event horizon is slap bang in the middle of a recession?

Well, for starters, it’s helpful to remember that you’re not stuck in one place, and you will always have options. Especially when it comes to fund brands – if you think a brand is all that matters, think again. Many disappointing investment fund performances come from the most popular investment houses.

A 2020 report by Yodelar (empowering investors website) analysed 14,600 funds and 95 Fund management firms for UK investors, highlighting that not only were some of the largest investment brands among the worst performers, but the ten worst were also responsible for managing more than £500 billion of client money. And this was two months before the pandemic crashed markets around the world.

At GreenPark Platinum, fund quality is significantly important to the health of a financial portfolio. Poorly performing funds can affect your overall investment portfolio, and inefficient investing means you are missing out on maximising growth due to subpar fund quality.

If you haven’t looked into the performance of your investments, now is the time. This allows you to identify which funds might not be doing their best and find potential areas for improvement. It is also an excellent time to consider diversified investments and alternative opportunities unrelated to the traditional stock market.

Litigation finance flourishes during tough times, partly because it is countercyclical. When other industries are under strain, their inclination to pursue litigation increases. This opens up opportunities to reach deals that include interest for funds provided, and if a case is successful, receive a share of the proceeds.

While many businesses focus on public equities, litigation finance is not dependent on the traditional market, making it a largely recession-proof opportunity.
