Personalized wealth management
& succession planning

Company profile

Douglas Investments was established in 2006 to manage clients’ wealth on a discretionary basis across multiple asset classes both locally and offshore. Our service offering includes discretionary portfolio management and private equity, coupled with family office services.

Our discretionary portfolio management services entail designing a bespoke portfolio that meets the needs and risk profile of the client. Our clients benefit from over 50 years combined experience, as well as a personalised and interactive service.

We build long-standing relationships with our clients that go further than wealth management into a generational service, and as such have deep succession plans to ensure consistency over years to come.
