Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.

  • First party cookies are cookies set by the website you're visiting. Only that website can read them. In addition, a website might potentially use external services, which also set their own cookies, known as third-party cookies.
  • Persistent cookies are cookies saved on your computer and that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you quit your browser.

Every time you visit our websites, you will be prompted to accept or refuse cookies. The purpose is to enable the site to remember your preferences (such as user name, language, etc.) for a certain period of time. That way, you don't have to re-enter them when browsing around the site during the same visit.

Cookies can also be used to establish anonymised statistics about the browsing experience on our sites.

How do we use cookies?

Currently, there are four types of cookies that may be generated as you browse our site: Strictly Necessary, Statistics, Preference and Marketing cookies.

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Cookies that allow web shops to hold your items in your cart while you are shopping online are an example of strictly necessary cookies. These cookies will generally be first-party session cookies. While it is not required to obtain consent for these cookies, what they do and why they are necessary are explained in the table below.

How do I control Strictly Necessary Cookies?

You can use your browser settings to control whether or not we set session cookies. More information on your browser settings is provided at the bottom of this page.

Please be aware that these cookies are critical to the efficient working of the site. If you choose to disable these cookies from this site, the functionality of the site may be greatly reduced.

2. Statistics Cookies

Also known as "performance cookies," these cookies collect information about how you use a website, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve website functions. This includes cookies from third-party analytics services as long as the cookies are for the exclusive use of the owner of the website visited.

Statistical information is used in reports and to improve our site. For example, we have used analytics data to add, remove or change features of the site based on how popular they are with users.

We track, for example:

  • the numbers of visitors to individual pages;
  • when pages were visited;
  • how long users stayed on the page;
  • the IP address of the user of the website;
  • the page they came from;
  • technical data about the device being used to browse the site (such as browser and operating system version, and display size) — we use this data to ensure that the technology our site uses is appropriate for the majority of our users, and how best to display the site for users who have less capable browsers.

More information about Statistics cookies

We use cookies from different partners including Google to provide our analytics data. You can read more about how Google Analytics treats your data on their web site. You can also read Google's full privacy policy.

How do I control Statistics cookies?

Google provides a tool to opt-out of Google Analytics. This is available for all modern browsers in the form of a browser plugin. Additionally, you can control how cookies are set using your browser settings.

3. Preference cookies

Also known as "functionality cookies," these cookies allow a website to remember choices you have made in the past, like what language you prefer, whether you have accepted our cookie policy, what region you would like weather reports for, or what your user name and password are so you can automatically log in.

4. Marketing cookies

The advertisements you see displayed on this, and other, sites are generated by third parties. These services may use their own anonymous cookies to track how many times a particular ad has been displayed to you and may track your visits to other sites where their ads are displayed. Please note that advertisers can only track visits to sites which display their ads or other content. This tracking is anonymous, meaning that they do not identify who is viewing which ads.

Tracking in this manner allows advertisers to show you ads that are more likely to be interesting to you, and also limit the number of times you see the same ad across a wide number of sites. As an example of how advertisers operate, if you recently researched holidays, adverts for holiday operators may subsequently appear on our sites.

We do not have access to, or control over, these third party cookies; nor can we view the data held by these advertisers. Online advertisers provide ways for you to opt-out of your browsing being tracked. More information about the advertisers we use, and how to opt-out, is provided below.

What should I invest in? - Your Portfolio Diversification Guide

Oshin Ahlawat

Alternative investments are key to a strong, diversified portfolio. It is crucial to understand the value of diversification in the investment world – whether you are an aspiring portfolio manager or a curious amateur investor.

As you probably know, the age-old wise idiom states “do not put all your eggs in one basket”. In that sense, a diversified portfolio ensures that you are putting your “eggs” (capital) in separate “baskets” (investments) so that even if all your investments are highly risky, the fact that they’re not in closely related industries or asset classes decreases the portfolio’s overall risk.

What does diversification mean & why should you diversify?

You can think of a diversified portfolio as a fail-safe during times of uncertainty and volatile market crashes.

If you invest broadly across different asset classes that have a low correlation to each other, your portfolio will be significantly more protected during a stock market crash than a portfolio that is solely invested in stocks.

So diversifying is key for risk management of your financial assets. High risk is related to high reward potential, while low risk to low potential reward. Since every investor has their own personal threshold regarding risk, portfolios can look very different.

Remember that the appropriate level of diversification for you depends on your personal financial goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. Not understanding one’s personal risk tolerance is usually the reason why people hold back from investing at all.

How much risk do you want to take?

Are you a risk-averse person?

Being risk-averse is totally fine, actually the majority of people would consider themselves as being risk-averse. However, that does not mean you need to keep your money in your savings account and not invest at all. That would result in your money not even keeping up with inflation and, thus, losing its value over time. Consider wide-spread ETFs and after gaining some confidence, traditional assets such as rare watches from proven investment vehicles. Risk-averse people usually have long-term investment horizons and not even get involved with anything around day-trading and betting on speculative deals.

Are you looking for high returns and willing to take high risks instead?

As a risk-seeking investor there are many investment strategies that hold high potential returns. Usually, risk-seeking portfolios hold less ETFs or bonds in their portfolio and focus on single stock pickings, often paired with options and futures and even multiples. Moreover, crypto is an asset class that can be very volatile and make quick returns (but also losses) especially when betting on new crypto assets or coins. Other alternative assets such as rare watches or whiskey can also be very high-yielding while adding much lower volatility, thus, they can be perfect to round up one's financial portfolio.

6 asset classes to diversify your portfolio with

So how to diversify your portfolio independent from your risk profile? As new technologies are opening up, new investment opportunities for beginners and small-scale investors are also opening up.

  • First, start with ETFs, such as the classical broad-invested ETF is MSCI World, an index replicating the world economy.

  • Second, add single stocks of companies and industries you believe in. It’s also worth checking if the companies are having a dividend-payout policy, in case you’re interested in building a dividend portfolio with passive income.

  • Next, Bonds are quite outdated nowadays by young investors but still a valid asset class worth considering depending on your risk-profile.

  • Commodities and metals are also very traditional asset classes, often chosen by low-risk investors.

  • Alternative assets such as rare watches, fine wine, whiskey, real estate etc. are very promising asset classes due to the fact that they have a very low correlation to mainstream asset classes. Potential returns differ among the asset classes and on the investment vehicle but can be very strong and outperforming stocks.

  • Finally, crypto is a newer asset class which can be very high-yielding but comes with significant risk. To diversify your risk it’s also possible to invest in crypto-indices.
