Investments built to suit your needs
The Hardy range features seven different risk-targeted investment profiles. Each one features a comprehensive blend of both active and passive investments spread across different asset classes. The investments are chosen by our in-house research team and managed by Casterbridge specialists, with the aim of delivering the best possible investment outcomes.
Comprehensive portfolio management
Your investment is managed day-in, day-out, by an experienced team of managers and analysts who really know their stuff, so you don’t have to. It’s their job to put different funds together to create a portfolio greater than the sum of its parts, capable of delivering returns without taking too many risks. However, as with any investment, there is a chance you could lose money and get back less than you originally invested.
High conviction investing
We focus on assembling high conviction, well diversified, quality portfolios that are flexible enough to take advantage of opportunities across the whole toolbox of investments. We are free to invest based on where our experience, research, and insights take us, not where our competitors are. It’s what active portfolio management ought to be.
Working in partnership with your financial adviser
We’ll work closely with your financial adviser to achieve the right investment outcomes for you. Our portfolios are only available through financial advisers, and your adviser can help you determine the appropriate Hardy Managed Portfolio based on your circumstances and objectives.
