The King & Shaxson Group
King & Shaxson is a long-established City name, with a history that
goes back to the mid-nineteenth century. From the middle of the 1980s,
the firm has successfully concentrated its activities in dealing in
UK gilts and other bonds.
The London businesses of King & Shaxson are owned by PhillipCapital,
a financially strong and developing Singaporean financial services company.
PhillipCapital employs 3,000 people worldwide, with its major interests
in Singapore, Hong Kong and other regions of the Far East. The development
of London is an important element in PhillipCapital's global growth
plan.
The aim of King & Shaxson is always to offer our clients the best possible
service in all aspects of our business.
King & Shaxson Asset Management
King & Shaxson Asset Management (KSAM) was established in December 2003.
KSAM is a specialist active manager of global equities and fixed interest.
The team manages the assets of a range of pooled vehicles and has the
ability to offer a bespoke investment service, which will meet the precise
needs of a client.
Our fund managers have a broad range of specialisations, and cover equities
in all the major international markets, UK Gilts and index-linked bonds,
international government and supranational bonds, and UK and international
corporate fixed income.
In addition to our benchmarked services, we are developing a range of
absolute-return strategies, which aim to provide clients with positive
returns, whatever the market and economic backgrounds may be.
Our aim is always to work closely with a client, in order to provide
them with a solution that best matches their investment requirements.
We also strive to provide clients with the best reporting and advice
throughout the period of the mandate.
King & Shaxson Cash Management
The Cash Management team of KSAM specialises in the investment of cash
assets. Cash is too often seen as the poor relation of the equity and
bond classes. In the current economic environment of low interest rates
and low inflation, the returns that are earned on simple deposits can
be negligible, unless the asset is properly managed. Our active approach
uses a disciplined investment process, which is designed to optimise
the return on the portfolio. It will use a range of instruments to achieve
this end, including certificates of deposit, Treasury bills, floating
rate notes and Gilts.
King & Shaxson Limited
The core team of King & Shaxson Limited has been together since 1985,
drawn from a diversity of professional backgrounds and our blend of
experience, skill and dedication is shared with our varied client base.
We are a leading dealer in UK gilts and other cash bonds (governments,
supranationals and corporates), both fixed and floating rate. A service
is also provided in related money market instruments including certificates
of deposit and Treasury bills.
Our diverse client base includes institutions such as pension funds,
fund managers, insurance companies, hedge funds, building societies,
local authorities, international banks and charities.
The service we provide is tailored to the individual client. This varies
from, at one extreme, a fast, competitive, execution-only type service,
to, at the other, a full advisory and discretionary service. We can
offer varying degrees of advice to suit each customer, ranging from
very short intra-day trading views to the longer-term perspective. We
are also able to advise on other areas such as asset allocation and
performance against the various indices.
We never take principal positions and any advice we give about the level
of the market or specific stocks is completely unbiased. Furthermore,
as we deal as a matched principal, we preserve our clients' anonymity.
Advice on markets is available from a highly experienced team with varying
backgrounds including traders, fund managers, market makers and economists.
Our efficient and reliable settlements department is of vital importance
in the successful delivery of our professional services.
