For an amount north of ten million pounds requires significant due diligence on the part of the investor. After all it is an extremely consequential amount that can lead to great success or failure that can have impacts down the road for the company at hand.

The client is aiming for a twelve percent return on investment per annum. A twenty percent premium over the traditional ten percent average returns given by a broad market index fund. An index fund is just a basket of stocks that track the stock market’s overall performance.

The client wishes to invest with us for a period of twenty years at least. And while it is a tall order to want to outperform the market indices, Eden is hopeful that it can be done.

From pandemics to recessions to economic melt-ups, any number of external factors and events can and will disrupt the stock markets returns over the long run. That is why it is so important to have a good system in place to research the best companies that will provide optimal returns to shareholders.
