The Investment Desk

Managed by the house,
not introduced by it.

Most private banks distribute other people's funds and take a margin for the introduction. Ours runs its own institutional investment desk — a proprietary systematic strategy, managed in-house, with the same discipline institutions apply to their own balance sheets. When the strategy performs, it is the house's process at work, not a third party's product.

How the desk thinks

Systematic discipline, disclosed conviction.

01

In-House Strategy

A proprietary, rules-based process — not a model portfolio bought from a shelf and re-badged.

  • Returns attributed to the desk's own systematic discipline, run in-house
  • A documented Investment Policy Statement governing every mandate
  • Direct access to the investment committee for founding members
02

A Values Screen

On values-aligned mandates, a disclosed standard governs what capital may own — with an unconstrained conventional mandate available to those who prefer it.

  • Every holding screened negatively against an exclusion list
  • Then positively against sustainability-alignment criteria — no exceptions
  • Screening method disclosed and independently assured
03

Built Around You

Mandates constructed discretionarily around your liquidity horizon and risk tolerance, then left to the process rather than to a calendar.

  • Strategic allocation set at onboarding, with drift bands that trigger a rebalance
  • Quarterly reporting pairing total return net of fees with full screening disclosure
  • No calendar-driven churn; the process decides when to act
Conviction, expressed

The discipline institutions apply to their own balance sheet — applied to yours.

Where it is expressed

The Fortera Frontier Fund.

The desk's conviction is expressed through one master plan of eight thematic sleeves — from energy transition to water, cities and technology — each screened to the same disclosed standard, each reported quarter by quarter. Explore the sleeves in detail on the fund page.

No return figures are shown here by design: Fortera Nova is a concept proposition and is not an authorised or regulated financial institution. Nothing on this page is an offer, a solicitation, or a financial promotion, and the value of investments can fall as well as rise.
