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 built on its traditional strengths in the
bond and money markets to expand into dealing in equities and fund management.
King & Shaxson is 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 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 bonds (governments, supranationals and corporates),
both fixed and floating rate and money market instruments including
certificates of deposit and Treasury bills.
We are listed by the Debt Management Office (DMO) of the UK Treasury
as a primary participant in the Treasury bill market enabling us to
bid, on behalf of investors, at Treasury bill tenders.
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.
King & Shaxson Asset Management
King & Shaxson Asset Management (KSAM) was established in December 2003.
King & Shaxson provides distinctive ethical investment management services,
with a focus on investing in solutions to social and environmental challenges.
We manage personal portfolios according to your own ethical and financial
criteria, and also run two funds. The Ethical Balanced Income Fund is
a cautiously managed ethical fund that also generates income, whilst
the Green Solutions Fund is a global fund that wholly invests in companies
providing solutions to social and environmental challenges.
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.
