Certified independent investment advice

Advice before investment

In much of the financial industry, advice starts with products and investments.

At Connectum, we do the opposite. We start by understanding your situation, what your capital is meant to support, and the framework that applies to you.

Once this is clear, we develop a strategy for how your capital should be structured and managed over time, based on academic evidence.

The capital is then put to work in line with the strategy.

Traditional approach
Products and funds are presented early on. Advice is driven by what is available, rather than what you actually need.

Connectum's approach
We start by mapping your situation. The strategy is built on your goals, your risk profile and your life situation. Both the strategy and investment choices are based on an evidence-based approach.

How the collaboration works

A collaboration with us is based on your situation and develops through four phases. The Connectum model is a structured approach that puts you as a client at the center, from initial mapping to long-term follow-up.

What the collaboration entails

What we do

We help you structure your capital, develop an investment strategy, and follow it over time.

The advice is based on your situation and is given independently of banks, funds, and product providers.

What we don't do

Connectum does not sell any investment products and receives no commissions from the investments we recommend.

The advice we give is therefore not guided by available products in the market, but is based on the strategy we develop together.

What we expect from you

A good collaboration requires open and honest dialogue.

We need insight into your situation, your goals, and what matters most to you. The better we understand your situation, the better the advice can be tailored to you.

First call

The first conversation is an introductory conversation where we get to know you and your situation.

We talk about what has led you to seek advice, what questions you have and what you want to achieve. Together, we go through your goals, responsibilities and key aspects of your finances.

For many, this conversation is also an opportunity to reflect on questions or topics they haven’t previously considered.

You don’t need to prepare detailed figures or documents. Based on extensive experience, we have developed an investment profile – or checklist, if you prefer – which we go through together.

The most important thing is that you can describe your situation and what you would like help with.

Strategy and recommendations

After the review, we make an independent assessment of your situation and prepare a clear strategy for how your capital should be structured and managed over time.

The strategy is based on documented knowledge, and the portfolio is built using carefully selected funds, as part of an evidence-based and systematic approach.

We go through the recommendations together before you decide whether you want to implement the strategy yourself, or whether Connectum will support you with implementation and ongoing follow-up.

What happens next?

Once your strategy is in place, you have a clear basis for how your capital should be structured and invested over time.

At this point, you choose how you want to proceed:

Implement the strategy yourself

Some choose to follow the strategy on their own.

The recommendations from Connectum can then be used as a basis for how the capital is structured, invested and followed up over time.

Connectum can also be contacted again later if there is a need for a new assessment, an updated strategy or additional advice.

Implementation and follow-up at Connectum

Most people choose to have Connectum continue to support them in managing their capital.

We manage the investments in line with the strategy we have developed together and follow up the portfolio over time.

The portfolio is built using selected funds, as part of an evidence-based and systematic approach, with ongoing assessments, reporting and dialogue as needed.

What you pay for

At the start of the collaboration, the work is normally invoiced on an hourly basis. This applies in particular to the review of your situation, analysis, and the development of a strategy and recommendations.

If Connectum later assists with the implementation of the strategy and ongoing follow-up of the investments, a fixed fee is agreed, often linked to the value of the portfolio, so that we have a long-term alignment of interests.

The fee reflects the scope of the work, the complexity of the situation and the level of ongoing follow-up required.

All costs and terms are clearly agreed upon before the collaboration begins.

FAQ

How does the collaboration work in practice? We start by going through your entire situation together, so we understand what you have and what choices you face. Then we make a plan before the investments are put in place. You choose whether you want to do this on your own or together with us. If we manage the capital, the portfolio is set up based on documented knowledge and followed up over time.
What separates Connectum from other advisors? We operate as fiduciary and receive no commissions from products. This means that we have no incentives to recommend specific solutions. That’s why our advice is based on your situation, and we create a plan before any investments are made.
What is expected of me as a client? The most important thing is that you share your situation and what matters most to you. This provides the basis for the advice we give. You don’t need to have all the answers ready in advance. We start by going through your situation together to identify what needs to be addressed to move forward.
