It has been many a year since stock markets had any reliable degree of predictability. There was a time (though hard to believe now) when an investor could look at the road in front with reasonable confidence that, in large measure, there would be an absence of surprises; when the forward view had few twists and turns; when investment pot holes were rare. That world, at least for the near future, has vanished and will not be returning any time soon. Investors need a solution.
It is all but self-evident that investment decisions require good forward planning for success. Yet two factors frequently foil this: dubious ‘investment weather’; and volatility that all too easily unsettles markets and those who invest in them. The team at Joseph Palmer & Sons (Palmers) have been providing client solutions in this area since 1872.
Few would argue that when a firm flourishes for 145 years – and continues to attract many clients – it must be doing some things ‘right’. It is, and here in brief are a few of them.
One of the key characteristics of Palmers is that, despite its long history and heritage, it has always opened its doors to every type of investor: from the young and ambitious to the mature and conservative – to individuals, families, beneficiary estates, and self-managed super funds.
Another key element is the absolute thoroughness of the firm’s approach to its clients’ objectives: after all, while no two clients are the same, they all want positive outcomes; some accept a higher level of risk in pursuit of higher returns – others settle for moderate risk as they seek to preserve their hard-earned capital.
Thoroughness is part of the Palmer’s DNA. Two examples: the amount of deep research utilised to examine securities both in Australia and the broader international market; and the independent investment committee that conducts a well-documented, three hour, penetrating Q&A session every month with the managing partner, Malcolm Palmer, great grandson of the founder.
Palmer’s is a ‘nothing-left-to-chance’ organisation staffed by a small, dedicated team of investment professionals, most of whom have been with the firm for a long time and all of whom put the clients’ interests first.

You’ll find a Senior Client Advisor will likely clear the mist away … and provide, as Keats went on to write, ‘a season of fruitfulness’. With a no-obligation chat, you have nothing to lose.
