Our Performance

We prioritise consistent growth and capital preservation across all market conditions, rather than tracking standard market benchmarks. Our focus is to steadily increase your wealth while minimising risk, not just to outpace indices like the S&P 500. For example:

  • In a strong market, your portfolio might grow more slowly but with less risk.
  • In a downturn, we prioritise preserving your wealth, even if markets fall sharply.

This means your returns won’t always mirror the headlines, but they’ll align with your long-term goals. 

The graphs below show how our client portfolios with similar growth and preservation goals have performed over the past decade, balancing risk and returns. 

Market Drawdown: Protecting capital through market events

For over 30 years, Saxe Coburg has consistently protected client capital, often generating positive returns during challenging market conditions.
The chart below compares our clients’ average performance during major global equity declines (as measured by the MSCI World Index) over the past 20 years. The more traditional 60/40 Balanced Index benchmark is provided for comparison.

Delivering equity-like returns with less risk

We take pride in building client portfolios that target competitive market returns while carefully managing risk.

This chart displays our clients’ asset-weighted returns since March 2014, benchmarked against relevant market indices. While every portfolio is personalised, to provide meaningful market performance comparisons, we’ve grouped them into Balanced Portfolios and Growth Portfolios. As you can see, our portfolios have delivered similar returns to equity markets with significantly less risk.

What our clients say

After selling my business, I was faced with the daunting task of investing the money and had no idea where to begin. That’s when I sought advice from Saxe Coburg—and Mark and Sam immediately put me at ease. Their integrity, deep expertise, and ability to clearly explain their investment strategy gave me complete confidence in their approach.

– Mike Ridgway

Saxe Coburg complements my two other fund managers with a diverse strategy that lets me set a distinct risk profile. They give me options that help balance my portfolio that I cannot get from larger, traditional fund managers.

This also helps me manage my other fund managers more effectively by enabling clear risk-return comparisons, allowing me to take action on poor performance with confidence. I especially value the ability to implement bespoke strategies, which is difficult with the larger managers.
