Investments

We put sustainability at the heart of our approach. Our aim is to construct a portfolio that seeks to preserve your capital, and deliver predictable and stable returns over the long-term.

GSEPS is a discretionary managed portfolio service which means Guinness selects companies in which to invest on your behalf. The aim is to provide access to a diversified portfolio of underlying trades that meet the investment objectives of the service and give you access to Business Relief.

We may invest in:

  • Solar power

Risk

An investment in the Guinness Sustainable Estate Planning Service is subject to a number of risks, both general and specific to each offering within the Service. Before making any decision to invest, prospective investors need to understand that investing in unlisted companies can be highly speculative and carries high risk. The Brochure contains details of the risks involved. Investors should consider carefully whether a subscription is suitable for them in the light of the information in the Brochure, Investor Agreement and their personal circumstances. Before investing, investors are strongly recommended to consult an authorised financial adviser. We recommend you seek appropriate independent advice before investing.

Past performance of the Investment Manager is no guarantee of future performance. The value of an investment may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested.
