At SCM Direct, we believe that everyone should have access to high-quality investment management services. That's why we offer a range of investment portfolios designed to meet the needs of investors at every level. Whether you're just starting out or you're an experienced investor looking for new opportunities, our team of experts can help you achieve your financial goals.
Our Investment Philosophy
At SCM Direct, we take a unique approach to investing that is based on three core principles: diversification, low costs and active management. We believe that by diversifying your portfolio across different asset classes and regions, you can reduce risk while maximizing returns over the long term.
We also believe in keeping costs low so that more of your money goes towards generating returns rather than paying fees. That's why we use passive investments where appropriate and negotiate lower fees with fund managers on behalf of our clients.
Finally, we believe in active management as a way to add value over time. Our team of experienced portfolio managers constantly monitor market conditions and adjust our portfolios accordingly so that they remain well-positioned for growth.
Our Investment Portfolios
At SCM Direct, we offer a range of investment portfolios designed to meet the needs of investors at every level. Our flagship product is our Diversified Growth Portfolio which aims for long-term capital growth through exposure across multiple asset classes including equities (stocks), bonds (fixed income), property (real estate) and commodities (natural resources).
We also offer other specialized portfolios such as our Income Portfolio which focuses on generating regular income through dividend-paying stocks and bonds; our Ethical Portfolio which invests in companies that meet strict environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria; and our Global Opportunities Portfolio which seeks out high-growth companies around the world.
Our Fees
At SCM Direct, we believe in transparency when it comes to fees. We charge a simple annual management fee of 0.75% for our Diversified Growth Portfolio and 0.65% for our other portfolios. This fee covers all investment management services including trading costs, custody fees and ongoing portfolio monitoring.
We also offer a performance-based fee structure where clients only pay an additional fee if their portfolio outperforms its benchmark over a rolling three-year period. This ensures that we are aligned with our clients' interests and incentivized to deliver strong returns over the long term.
