Strategy returns vs PJM benchmarks — 30 September 2026
We are delighted to publish the aggregate performance of each of our investment strategies for a series of time periods. For each strategy we have selected an appropriate benchmark so you can consider their absolute and relative returns over different periods. The table will be updated with each new month and typically four weeks after month-end.
Investment performance information is important, although we stress that it is far from being the only factor to consider when assessing the quality of an investment management and financial planning service. Other important aspects must include the quality and care demonstrated by the Firm to its clients, additional financial and tax planning guidance, costs and capital preservation.
Should you have any queries regarding the published data, please do contact us.
*The PJM benchmarks are constructed from an investable range of exchange traded funds, unit trusts and passive funds, designed to represent risk profiles and assets of PJM strategies.
