Do it yourself, but not by yourself!

So you've left professional managers and that’s not surprising. Not many investment firms can deliver market-beating returns once their fees have been factored in.

It’s a nice feeling to be in control, but with freedom comes risk. When you go it alone, you may soon realise that the ability to make your own decisions does not always translate into decisions you won’t regret.

Market observers have noted that a large proportion of self-directed pension plan investments are made in cash and term deposits. Despite its current popularity as a safe haven, cash is not the best performing asset class over the long-term. How do we explain this paradox? We know this is your way of saying that risk and trust are important considerations for you.

As Charlie Munger famously put it: “The best way to minimise risk is to think.” While thinking is advisable, we believe that thinking collectively is even better!

Qvests allows investors to share their thoughts, discoveries, and insights with like-minded people, people who they trust. Qvests communities help their members separate the “information noise” from truly valuable knowledge, and to help each other make better investment decisions.

Every investment idea goes through four common stages:

First, identify potential investment targets and assemble a watch list.

Second, research each target to acquire more in-depth knowledge about the opportunity.

Third, decide whether to buy, sell or do nothing.

The fourth and final step is to act upon the decision, taking into consideration your goals and existing investment portfolio.

With Qvests, you can reduce your risk by accessing multiple perspectives from your trusted sources. The support you need is right here and it’s simple to access without any additional cost .
