Building Blocks

Key to managing risk

When designing a diversified portfolio, the skill is finding the right blend of funds. It is a real advantage if you also control the investment decisions in the underlying funds as it means you have end to end control over the decisions that ultimately drive performance and volatility, by which we mean the upward and downward movements in the value of a portfolio. 

It is for this reason we have our own range of funds, which form the basis of our portfolios. Each fund has a specific purpose, which makes them ideally suited to address different investment objectives. For those investors most focused on capital preservation we can increase allocations to our Tenax Absolute Return Strategies Fund while those with a longer investment time horizon will likely benefit from more exposure to UK Equity Growth and Esk Global Equity funds.

Direct Fund Investment

Church House funds are available for direct investment, and our partner, IFSL (Investment Fund Services Limited) manages the process. There are two options when looking at direct investment, both are detailed below.
 

Important information

Prospective investors should read a fund Prospectus, Key Investor Information Document and the most recent annual or semi-annual report before applying or processing a transaction over the telephone. These documents can be accessed earlier on this page.

Please make sure you read these documents carefully and if you are unsure about the suitability of an investment please contact us to discuss our wealth management services or get in touch with an authorised financial adviser.

Option 1

The first route is to undertake a transaction over the telephone with IFSL. There is a dedicated dealing desk, and the number is shown across.

Call 0808 164 5458.

Option 2

Alternatively, investors can complete an application form and email this directly to IFSL at dealing@ifslfunds.com. We have included a link to the Unit Trust/OEIC form. Other forms are required when holding funds in a specific account, such as an ISA (Individual Savings Account), and these are available on the IFSL website, a link is below. The form contains details of the available payment options. Where the form requests the 'Sedol/ISIN of fund' in Section E, you can find this by clicking on the relevant KIID for the fund in the table above.
