The solution:

Investment Solutions built on our 8-point investment philosophy

Timeline-8-point-philosophy-1

Risk and Return are Related

There is good risk and bad risk. Higher exposure to the right risk factors or premia leads to higher expected returns but is no guarantee of them. Risk is the premium investors pay for the expectation of a greater return.

 

Timeline-8-point-philosophy-2

The capital markets work

Manage planning, portfolios, transfers, trading and custody with one login, one dashboard and one client database.

Timeline-8-point-philosophy-3

Asset allocation and portfolio structure drive portfolio return

The most important factor determining the level of risk and variability of return in a portfolio is asset allocation.

Timeline-8-point-philosophy-4

Consistent outperformance is rare

Economic uncertainties, random market movements, and the rise and fall of individual companies mean it is extremely difficult for anyone - including professional fund manage-rs - to beat the market in the long term. There is a significant body of research to suggest that outperformance by most fund managers is down to luck rather than skill.

Timeline-8-point-philosophy-5

Costs matter

Costs reduce an investor's net return and represent a hurdle for a fund. Before a fund can outperform, it must first add enough value to cover its costs. Sadly, the vast majority of professional fund managers fail to add value and high cost is a strong predictor of poor fund performance.

Timeline-8-point-philosophy-6

Investor behaviour is a key determinant of long-term outcome

All too often, Investors let their emotions get the better of them with dire consequences for investment returns. We expect that planners working with Timeline add significant value by helping clients maintain a disciplined approach, especially in extreme market conditions.

Timeline-8-point-philosophy-7

Diversification is essential

Diversification is the principle of spreading your investment risk around. Our investment portfolios hold the shares and bonds of many companies and governments in many countries around the world.

Timeline-8-point-philosophy-8

Rebalancing should be driven by market movements

Unnecessary portfolio rebalancing, often arbitrarily timed around client review meetings, damages investment returns. Rebalancing should be driven by market movements to ensure portfolios remain in line with risk parameters and return objectives.

Easy-of-use ensures new users learn to use prototyping tools.

Collaborate seamlessly across devices from wherever you may be - whether you're in the office, on the go, or making last-minute changes before your next meeting.

How to transition from mps to timeline fund.

1.

Remove DFM Permissions

Ask your platform to remove Discretionary Fund Manager (DFM) permissions. This detaches the account from the MPS model. (Note: this may force-sell institutional-only assets on some platforms).

2.

Sell Down to Cash

Once the account is adviser-directed, sell all holdings to cash. This typically takes 2–5 business days. Some platforms can queue the fund purchase in parallel to reduce downtime.

3.

Invest in TM Timeline Fund

Reinvest the cash into your chosen Timeline Fund. Lump sum and regular contributions are both supported.

4.

Be Aware of Tax Implications

Selling MPS assets may trigger capital gains tax if gains exceed your client’s allowance. Your platform can generate a capital gains tax report to help with any tax filing.
