The Crossing Point Investment Portfolios

Crossing Point Investment Management Ltd is a discretionary investment management company offering a range of Model Portfolio Solutions (MPS) aimed at medium to long term investors who seek capital growth or a sustainable income from a portfolio of leading investment funds.

Crossing Point was established out of collaboration between Estate Capital Investment Management and leading financial academics from Swansea University which focussed on a form of investment management using trend-following momentum theory and market sentiment indicators. Estate Capital Investment Management Ltd supported the academic research from 2015 until 2020 which led to successful MSc and PhD submissions. The major shareholders in Crossing Point are Estate Capital Investment Management Ltd and the investment managers and academics Doctor Tomiko Evans and Professor Mike Buckle.

The six strategies are managed by Tomiko Evans, Mike Buckle and Chris Davies and offer investors unique and attractive investment portfolios. Each Crossing Point strategy is designed to deliver a specific investor outcome. Two sets of portfolios are managed using trend following and market sentiment indicators, while the other four portfolios are managed on a traditional buy, hold, and rebalance basis. The range is listed below.

Passive Portfolios

The Passive portfolios are “buy and hold” model portfolios which invest only in low-cost index tracking funds. The portfolios use a traditional diversified asset allocation that is further refined and informed through our unique research into trend and market sentiment indicators on a quarterly basis.

There are seven Passive portfolios which bring together low-cost index tracking funds from leading fund management groups. This portfolio range provides diversity of assets and seeks capital growth across global equity and bond markets at a very low cost to the investor.

The Passive portfolios are designed to assist in efficient, reliable, very low-cost investment and pension accumulation strategies. There are seven risk related strategies and all portfolios are benchmarked against the most relevant Investment Association (IA) national average.

The Passive Portfolios are our default recommendation range.

Growth Portfolios

The Growth portfolios bring together a blend of low-cost equity and bond index trackers as well as leading active investment funds invested on a “buy and hold” basis. This blend seeks to bring the best of low-cost passive and leading active management into one portfolio range to provide a diversification of assets focused on capital growth at a competitive price. The portfolios use a traditional diversified asset allocation that is further refined and informed through our unique research into trend and market sentiment indicators on a quarterly basis.

Guardian Portfolios

The Guardian Portfolios seek to protect capital assets and are particularly aimed at investors taking income from a pension fund. These portfolios move away from traditional buy and hold strategies by using advanced algorithms that monitor and signal when to buy, hold or sell a range of index tracking funds, thus allowing the portfolio through tactical trading to fully participate in up markets and reduce or remove equity exposure in down markets. The portfolios provide a more smoothed consistent return at lower risk and lower cost.

The portfolios are monitored daily but updated normally monthly if trading’s are signalled. During periods of market stress trades may be much more reactive and frequent. There are five Guardian portfolios which bring together low-cost index tracking funds from leading fund management groups.

Fusion Portfolios

Fusion Portfolios are a blended growth strategy that invests into both active and passive investment funds. These portfolios are monitored daily but updated, reviewed, and rebalanced as required. The portfolios benefit from the investment research used in the Guardian Portfolios to signal when to hold assets. There are five Fusion portfolios which bring together low-cost index tracking funds and active investment funds from leading fund management groups.

This portfolio range provides diversity of assets and seeks capital growth across global equity and bond markets at a low cost to the investor. All portfolios are benchmarked against the most relevant investment Association (IA) national average.

Green Path Portfolios

Green Path Portfolios are designed for ethically minded investors requiring capital growth and offer a range of three risk related portfolios, where the underlying assets are low-cost passive index tracking funds or exchange traded funds. These funds fully comply with established environmental, ethical, and social (ESG) selection criteria for sustainability. We monitor the ethical integrity of the underlying funds using established national ratings.

Heritage Portfolios

Heritage Portfolios are capital accumulation strategies using the growth potential of closed ended investment companies, otherwise called Investment Trusts. Investment Trusts were first established in the Victorian period and have enjoyed decades, if not centuries, of investment success.

The Heritage portfolios bring together a blend of leading investment trusts and low-cost fixed interest index trackers invested on a “buy and hold” basis. This blend seeks to bring the best of low-cost passive and leading active management into one portfolio range to provide a diversification of assets focused on capital growth at a competitive price.

The portfolios use a traditional diversified asset allocation model that is further refined and informed through our unique research into trend and market sentiment indicators on a quarterly basis. Investment trusts often trade at a discount to the underlying value of their holdings.

There are four Growth portfolios which bring together low-cost index tracking funds and active investment trusts from leading fund management groups.
