A NEW investment consultancy business has joined the market in Guernsey.

Independent Risk Reporting Ltd, based in St Martin’s, has three key elements to its set-up and has been established by husband and wife team Arran and Charlotte Grisley.

It deals primarily in investment portfolio risk analysis for trustees and investment manager due diligence as well as company secretarial services.

‘We provide investment consultancy and analysis specifically designed for trustees to understand how investment performance is being achieved and assess the level of risk to trust assets,’ said Dr Charlotte Grisley.

And by using a specially-designed investment questionnaire, the pair can also gather effective due diligence on investment managers. The pair both have considerable experience in the finance sector.

Mr Grisley has a degree in international finance and trade and holds an MBA. Dr Grisley, who has more than five years’ experience in finance, has a PhD in marine science and is also fully Step-qualified.

‘I feel my PhD in marine science has equipped me with the analytical, accuracy and report-writing skills required for an investment monitoring role,’ said Dr Grisley.
