Resilient wealth building
A balanced approach that blends growth assets with stabilising holdings to support steady, long-term compounding. By spreading your investment across multiple asset classes, the portfolio is designed to reduce shocks and help preserve your progress when markets fluctuate.
Expertly managed, anchored in a time-tested approach
Our in-house team manages a strategy that is inspired by Harry Browne’s long-standing Permanent Portfolio concept and adapted for modern investors.
Stocks, bonds, cash and gold each play a role across four key market conditions. The result is a structured, professionally maintained portfolio ready to navigate prosperity, deflation, recessions and inflation.
Please remember, investing should be viewed as longer term. Your capital is at risk - the value of investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you put in.

Any questions on All Weather?
Quick answers to your top questions
How does All Weather perform in market downturns?
All Weather is designed to be more resilient than portfolios focused on a single asset class, such as equities alone.
By diversifying across different assets, the portfolio aims to reduce the impact of market downturns. However, it is still likely to fall in value during broad market stress, and there is no guarantee of protection against losses.
Who manages All Weather?
All Weather is managed by Sidekick, using a diversified mix of low-cost funds from established asset managers.
We oversee the portfolio allocation and rebalance it as needed to maintain the intended balance between growth, resilience, and risk as market conditions change.
How risky is All Weather?
All Weather takes a balanced approach to risk by investing across multiple asset classes with different risk and return characteristics.
This diversification is designed to reduce reliance on any single market or outcome, but the portfolio will still experience periods of volatility and potential losses.
Is All Weather a replacement for cash or savings?
No. All Weather is an investment portfolio and is not designed to replace cash or savings. Its value can fluctuate, and it may not be suitable for short-term needs or capital you may need to access quickly.
What are the fees for the All Weather portfolio?
We try to be as transparent as possible about our fees and to keep costs down. Here is a link to our full fees and charges schedule.
To summarise, for the All Weather portfolio, we charge 0.50% AuM-based fees per year. This is charged as a percentage of your investment amount, and is billed monthly.
In addition, we pass through some additional trading and product, government and ancillary fees, which we call 'Portfolio Expenses'. For All Weather, we estimate this to be 0.10%. This includes:
- ETF costs: Any ETFs contained within the portfolio incur annual fund fees which cover the ETF fund management and transaction costs. They are charged by the ETF not by Sidekick and are deducted from the value of your investments and are subject to change.
- Market Spread: When we buy and sell assets on your behalf, the value of the price we pay will be impacted by "market spread". This is the difference between the price to buy and the price to sell - this can have have an impact on fees.
- Government or ancillary costs: E.g. UK Stamp Duty: 0.5% (applied by the UK Government when buying UK stocks electronically) and UK PTM levy: £1 on trades above £10k. These pass-through fees are subject to change and will be adjusted according to modifications by the Regulatory Authority.
