BSC UK started in 2000. Most of our Clients there are in Financial Services in the City of London. We have acquired a reputation as the Wealth Manager of wealth managers. With this impressive track record, we opened the Hong Kong office last year.

We are an Independent Wealth Manager. Independence is important as it enables us to be completely unbiased in product selection unlike banks or insurers who are always under pressure to sell in-house products. Wealth Management is much more than being a Financial Advisor. It is about a holistic client relationship requiring high level of bespoke tailoring and investment management expertise.

Firstly, Black Swan Capital never handles Client money; investments always go directly to the product provider. Secondly, recent collapses of financial icons show that history, size of balance sheet or familiarity of brand mean nothing – it is only individuals which can be trusted. That’s why we always encourage new Clients to take their time and use their own judgement and our testimonials to decide whether they can trust their Wealth Manager.

Yes, and in many ways. Our Wealth Managers have a salary based remuneration system designed to align their rewards with Clients’ objectives.

We carry out thorough market research and respond directly to Client feedback, continually adding fund managers, our own structured products and other investment vehicles to our platform.

For example:

potential to perform irrespective of market direction and reduce portfolio risk
