The Foundations

A partnership built on four firm grounds.

Everything we do for an adviser firm sits on the same four foundations. Take one away and the partnership stops working as it should.

i.

Your Brand, Our Investment Engine

You remain at the centre of the client relationship. We provide white-label reporting, branded factsheets and market commentary all under your name. Your clients see your firm, not ours, in every interaction that matters.

ii.

Independent, Open Architecture

No in-house products and no ties that compromise outcomes. Fund selection is guided by evidence, aligned to your philosophy and focused purely on client benefit. The way independence is supposed to work.

iii.
Behind every decision

Disciplined Portfolio Governance

Our investment committee combines quantitative discipline with experienced judgement. Portfolios are managed within a strategic asset allocation framework with volatility oversight, stress testing and transparent rebalancing. You get direct access to the decision-makers behind every adjustment.

iv.

Built to Scale With You

From ready-made white-label MPS to fully co-manufactured mandates shaped with your Investment Committee, the partnership adapts as your firm grows. We support structured IC processes, client communications and consistent research delivered by an experienced investment manager.

The Journey

Binary Capital supported my transition from MPS to partnership portfolios by building solutions that are more suitable for my clients and their outcomes. The onboarding process was seamless. Binary even helped produce literature for client letters informing them of the decision to rebalance into new models.

In The Wild

Two recent examples. Two different shapes of partnership.

The same framework, applied to two very different adviser briefs. Both led to live, branded MPS solutions running on platform.

Case Study 01

Low-cost, white-label MPS

White-Label Bespoke
Background

An adviser's client base was spread across a range of multi-asset funds, creating inconsistency and cost pressures. They needed a lower-cost, more streamlined solution to support client transitions, while retaining their brand identity front and centre.

Our Approach

Using our white-label bespoke service, we reviewed their CIP and philosophy, then adapted existing portfolios to align with their client base. Models were launched across four platforms, supported with co-branded factsheets, tailored marketing and branded reporting.

Results

Cost-sensitive clients were transitioned smoothly, gaining clarity and cost savings. The adviser now has a scalable, simplified CIP with consistent governance and branded materials, reducing operational complexity while reinforcing their market positioning.

Case Study 02

Blended portfolio with investment trusts

Adviser-Involved
Background

An adviser wanted to offer clients access to investment trusts within model portfolios, recognising their role in delivering long-term outcomes. They were keen to integrate these into their CIP in a way that was both consistent and client-ready, and valued that Binary Capital even helped bring this to life within our framework.

Our Approach

We conducted a detailed review of their CIP and identified scope to enhance it with a blended solution combining passive funds, active managers and investment trusts. Together, we agreed a mandate that reflected their philosophy and risk framework, ensuring it aligned seamlessly with their advice proposition.

Results

The adviser seamlessly rolled out the new portfolio across their client base. Clients benefited from a more diversified solution at a lower cost, while the adviser enhanced engagement, reinforced their CIP, and strengthened their reputation with a differentiated, high-quality proposition.

Why Partner

Five reasons firms choose Binary Capital.

i.

Adviser-led, brand-first

You remain at the centre of the client relationship. We support you with full transparency, producing white-label reporting and commentary that keeps your brand, not ours, front and centre.

ii.

Independent and conflict-free

We have no in-house products and no ties that compromise outcomes. Our open-architecture approach ensures fund selection is guided by evidence, aligned to your philosophy, and focused purely on client benefit.

iii.

Disciplined, with direct access

Portfolios are managed within a strategic asset allocation framework, using only liquid, transparent instruments. Oversight includes volatility bands and stress testing, with advisers given direct access to the decision-makers behind every adjustment.

iv.

Cost leadership with purpose

Our Passive Portfolio runs at 0.05% AMC, among the lowest in the UK. We believe cost is a certainty, returns are not, and we only allocate fees where they add demonstrable value.

v.

Breadth with clarity

From blended and passive portfolios to outcome-driven and tailored mandates, every solution is risk-mapped, platform-ready and designed to integrate seamlessly into your CIP. Built for scale, managed with discipline, structured to last.
