Changing Lives
We are grateful to The H&B Young Foundation, a longstanding client, for giving us their permission, time, and boundless energy to make this short film about our work together.
Their achievements in the communities they serve are an uplifting testament to the value of devotion and perseverance – a reminder that the power of love is a force to be reckoned with.
Michelle Connell: "Working with the Foundation has been life-affirming and oftentimes humbling. I am proud of all that we have accomplished together in bringing joy and support to the communities served, and feel blessed by the continuing trust placed in me as the guardian of their financial future."

Portia Capital’s specialist proficiency in Alternative Investments enables us to offer our clients a more comprehensive approach to investment strategy, one that goes beyond the conventional ‘bucket’ approach, which typically comprises a portfolio of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and low-cost ETFs.
Instead, we have a proven track record in identifying value and mitigating risk across this increasingly important component of modern investment portfolios, including private equity, private debt, real estate, and hedge funds.
We also offer our accredited clients the opportunity to capitalize on our proprietary institutional network, which provides access to exclusive private/pre-IPO investment opportunities.
Our highly experienced team has sourced and rigorously appraised each opportunity.

As a wholly independent wealth manager, with access to the most suitable financial solutions from the entire investment market, Portia Capital is able to develop investment strategies that truly align with clients’ needs.
We operate a fee-only business model, which eliminates all conflicts of interest arising from commissions or product sales. This can lead to more objective and unbiased financial advice, as the advisor is not incentivized to push specific products or investments.
As a CFA with longstanding institutional experience, our Chief Investment Officer can offer clients unique access to exciting private investment opportunities and managers.
At Portia Capital, we use our deep investment knowledge, specialist market insight, and longstanding experience – accrued over many economic cycles – to help clients navigate today's increasingly complex investment landscape and, at times, fast-moving, volatile financial markets.
We leverage our capacity to offer unbiased advice, shaping investment strategies that perfectly align with each client’s aspirations. Our active approach seeks to safeguard and enhance our clients' wealth by incorporating all asset classes, including Alternatives, an increasingly crucial and prominent component of modern investment strategies.
We also offer our accredited clients the opportunity to capitalize on our proprietary institutional network, which provides access to exclusive private/pre-IPO investment opportunities, each of which has been sourced and rigorously appraised by our highly experienced team.
In turn, we diligently curate fully diversified investment portfolios backed by expert knowledge, each optimally positioned to capture attractive market upside while avoiding downside volatility.
Independent Custody of Your Assets
To ensure the security of our clients’ assets and provide complete transparency, Portia Capital utilises the major third-party brokerage firm Charles Schwab & Co. for the custody and trading of most client accounts. This enables our clients to log-in and view their holdings, as well as all their trading activity.
Charles Schwab & Co. is one of the largest custodians in the country and a popular choice among independent investment advisors for client accounts.
