Case study: Amber River Johnston Financial - journey to a smarter CIP
Amber River Johnston Financial has been utilising the Downing Fox strategies for over three years. Learn more about their experience.
For investment professionals only.
Amber River Johnston Financial is a long-established independent financial planning firm based in Edinburgh, known for its thoughtful approach to investment and client service.
As part of their Centralised Investment Proposition (CIP), they’ve adopted a fund-of-funds approach, integrating the Downing Fox multi-asset models into a streamlined structure built around two portfolios: Cautious and Growth.
To explore how this simple approach benefits both clients and advisers, we have produced two companion pieces: a written case study and a video conversation with one of the group's Directors and a Chartered Financial Planner, Suzanne Gray.
These materials explore how the Downing Fox fund-of-funds model helps Amber River Johnston Financial tailor risk-based solutions across the client spectrum, streamline operational processes and support transparency and tax efficiency. It's a story of how simplicity, when built on depth, can transform the adviser experience and build client confidence.
