As the manager of discretionary accounts and private accounts WDB develops solutions tailored to suit the requirements of their clients. As the manager of mutual funds they aim to achieve long-term capital growth while outperforming specific indexes such as the FTSE World Index, the FTSE World Ex-UK Index, and the FTSE All Share Index. The firm places emphasis on careful stock selection and they combine in-house fundamental, quantitative and technical analysis with research from their sister firm, Evolution Securities, to provide recommendations. The WDB research department determines the overall investment strategy, although their investment managers are free to make specific investment decisions that best suit client needs, superimposing their in-house investment policy on research received from a variety of global securities houses.
