Thinking outside the square series

We believe that all roads lead to income!

At the end of the day, regardless of gender, age, relative financial security, employment or retirement, we all seek the same thing as the product of our investment strategy: income.

Put more simply the reason we invest is so that we can have sufficient income to live and hopefully live well at the time when we choose, or someone else chooses that we no longer will receive income from employment.

Balmain Funds over the period ahead will make available a series of “thought pieces” designed to provoke new thinking on why we invest the way we do, challenge investment orthodoxy, such as “modern portfolio theory”, posit and in some cases guess at future risks and opportunities. The overall aim however is to help you create a better future for you and the ones you love.

We have identified five themes that we believe will impact your ability to achieve the income you want. These are:

  1. The Global Financial Crisis
  2. Sovereign Risk(s)
  3. Change
  4. Globalisation, and
  5. New Investments and investment strategies

We will over time populate these themes with “thought pieces” that are designed to inform you, challenge and provoke your investment thinking and from that hopefully assist you in making better investment decisions.

Our first article which could easily reside in 3 of the themes above (we have put it in Change) is titled “Is volatility the price of liquidity and if so can you afford it?” We hope that you find it of interest.
