Who we are

Barras Capital Management, or BCM for short, is a specialist discretionary fund management company with a narrow focus; we work in close partnership with our clients to design and operate high-quality investment management practices.

What we do

  • Portfolio design
  • Portfolio management
  • Risk analysis
  • Security selection
  • Long-range capital market projections
  • Macro economic reports
  • Interest rate forecasts

We make time for our clients and we save time for our clients.

Our clients are British-based investment professionals comprising FCA-regulated financial advisers and wealth managers. They demand time-saving portfolio management solutions which fit with their business model, respond well in an ever-changing regulatory environment and which meet the demands of increasingly sophisticated investors.

We go further, providing all that is required for our clients to make better-informed decisions, communicate those decisions more effectively, implement them faster and assess their efficacy more accurately. Ultimately, we help to deliver a profitable, high-value proposition into the investor market place.

Why we do it

We believe that thoughtful, long-term investment is a good for society. We also believe that thoughtful, long-term investment is best accommodated inside a sound financial plan. We work with the best financial planners because we want to be the best investment manager.

How we do it

We engage with our clients to fashion solutions that fit and which foster a close partnership over time.

When it comes to the practice of investment management, we are proactive and we take a holistic approach to risk, seeing beyond volatility and emphasising ‘portfolio survivability’ in the face of unpredictable events. Building on that foundation, we employ a ‘full-cycle’ approach, damping market exposure when conditions are less favorable and raising exposure when conditions are more favourable.
