Blackfinch Spring VCT PLC has released a short animation video that explores ways to potentially boost investor returns. The video presents a worked example of placing £500,000 into three differently constructed portfolios with varying weightings of alternative assets. The animation challenges traditional approaches to diversification and highlights the potential financial impact over time when alternative assets are introduced. The company's aim is to offer a deeper and more comprehensive approach to diversification that can unlock potential for clients and provide value-add tax benefits.

The worked example featured in the animation is taken from Blackfinch's recent discussion paper on diversification. The paper, written by Nick French (Chief Distribution Officer) and Dan Appleby (Chief Investment Officer Listed Investments), addresses the question of whether investment portfolios constructed by traditional approaches are capable of achieving expected client outcomes. It explores the potential role of alternative assets in achieving diversification and offers insights into this innovative approach.

Blackfinch encourages financial advisers and clients to download the paper and consider the merits of this deeper approach to diversification. The company's expert team of regional Business Development Managers is also available to answer any questions or provide further information.
