At HDIM, we are passionate about growing and protecting clients’ wealth. We strongly believe in the superiority of income-oriented strategies over the long run, whether income is withdrawn or reinvested. We also emphasize the importance of growing inflation-adjusted income. Therefore, asset allocations for clients are structured to favour asset classes generating real returns: equities with steadily growing dividends; real estate; real-return bonds for non-taxable accounts; and other inflation-sensitive assets. We offer our portfolio management services exclusively on a segregated, discretionary basis. This provides us the flexibility to accommodate various sizes of mandates and different levels of complexity or sophistication. We are particularly experienced in managing several portfolios for a given client or for accounts that form relationships.

Recognised: ESG risks should be identified and understood at the security, portfolio and operational levels.
Intentional: Material ESG risks and opportunities are actively sought out and included throughout the investment process.
ESG research, analytics and supporting active ownership activities are undertaken by our 650 investment professionals supported by a central team of ESG specialists and our global risk consultants.
