The Brite platform
The Brite platform
Lower cost investing
The underlying investments in your portfolio are exchange traded funds (ETFs), which are low-cost in nature. This allows us to invest more of your money and helps deliver a better performing portfolio.
These use low-cost, index-vehicles are aligned to our philosophy of managing assets in your best interests.
We optimise for you
We all want our money to work hard for us and grow. Our approach saves you money, keeps up to speed with the market and rebalances your portfolio.
As a discretionary fund manager, we actively construct the asset allocation and select the holding that is rebalanced and optimised periodically. Then we implement our strategies via passive vehicles such as ETFs that are replicating major indices.
This investment strategy often produces superior results over the medium to long term.

A summary of the Brite platform
Easy Set-up
Can be set up quickly with a cash lump sum or transfer from an existing pension arrangement.
Lower Cost
We use Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) to keep costs down.
No Hidden Fees
You’ll always know how much you’re paying and we’ll never hide charges from you. We charge a total annual portfolio management fee of 1%. Plus

The amount you pay in fees affects your portfolio’s performance. Low fees play a pivotal role in our investment strategy. We know that over time this is probably one of the most important factors in generating better returns.

We will build you a diversified portfolio that aims to maximise your returns while keeping you in your risk comfort zone as our team maintains the right investment mix over time.
Optimising your investments
We all want our money to work hard for us and grow. Our approach can save you money, keeps up to speed with the markets and rebalances your portfolio.
As asset managers, we actively construct the asset allocation and select the holding that is rebalanced and optimised periodically. Our strategies are implemented via passive vehicles such as ETFs that are replicating major indices. We also ensure that the portfolio remains within your risk tolerance over the long term.
What is rebalancing?
Rebalancing is used to lower volatility and improve risk adjusted returns – a process that sells assets that have become expensive (or over-weighted in the portfolio) while buying assets that have become cheaper (under weighted in the portfolio).
This investment strategy often produces superior results over the medium to long term.
Exchange traded funds (ETFs)
We use ETFs which track an index, a specific asset or basket of assets. ETFs cover many areas of the market including stock indices, sectors, commodities, currencies, bonds and even instruments that track the volatility of the stock market(1).
We use them because they are a lower cost way of investing in the stock market and we can pass that saving on to you in the form of a low fee. This in turn means, over time, clients may get a better return as more of their savings are reinvested.
Cost efficient
The Brite Platform is based on the key principle that investment costs are one of the most significant factors that affect long term portfolio performance. The Brite Platform uses diversified, low cost Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) in model portfolios aligned to risk profiles.
The platform delivers model ETF portfolios with automatic rebalancing on your behalf without any added cost.
Furthermore, the Brite Platform does not pass on any transaction costs for the buying and selling of securities to clients.

Additional Explanatory Notes and Disclaimers:
1. Past performance is not indicative of future returns and the value of investments and the income derived from them can go down as well as up. Future returns are not guaranteed, and a loss of principal may occur. ETFs are subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The value of the portfolio will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities. ETFs may trade for less than their net asset value. Investors should consider an ETF’s investment objective, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing.
2. Any returns presented are hypothetical. Hypothetical returns are net of estimated advisory fees and transaction cost. The assumed 6% return is only an illustration and assumes annual compounding. Actual strategy returns from live portfolios may differ materially from hypothetical returns. There is no substitute for actual returns from a live portfolio. There are inherent limitations in hypothetical model results like those portrayed in this brochure, particularly that such hypothetical results do not reflect trading in actual client accounts. The hypothetical is meant to illustrate the effect of investment management costs on net returns.
