We diversify risk across liquid asset classes.

We use index funds and ETFs to express our portfolio preferences.

Our investment experience has been developed over more than a decade managing the portfolios of the founding family. We have considerable academic and technical expertise.

• SCore Factor (index funds only)
• SCore Responsible (index funds and ETFs)
• SCore Responsible (index funds only)

The SCore MPS proposition is priced at 0.10% per annum, capped at £20 per month per end client. This fee covers portfolio construction, monitoring and rebalancing. The service is exempt from VAT.

Weighted portfolio OCF is 14 – 31 bppa depending on the selected risk exposure

Each range comprises eleven portfolios from zero to 100% equity exposure in 10% increments, allowing Advisers to select the risk level appropriate for each client’s attitude to risk.

These portfolios are globally diversified, multi-asset and liquid, with sterling as the base currency.

The Factor portfolios are tilted towards risks that have historically provided a persistent premium, while the Responsible portfolios contain ESG filtered equity funds.

The SCore MPS portfolios are available on a discretionary or advisory basis through selected platforms and are risk rated by Defaqto.
