Independent
Both DCAM and DCD in providing their respective investment management services, avoid any conflict of interest by being directly compensated by the Client and not by the Banks or financial institutions via retrocession or rebate on commissions generated, as such assuring their independence.

Co-operation Agreements
DCAM have established Co-operation agreements with leading global financial institutions that cover (amongst other) reduced execution / trading commissions and fee schedules that are quite favourable to DCAM's Clients, direct access to the relevant trading rooms (at some banks) or dedicated execution desks (at other banks), the provision of research and live IT access on all accounts under DCAM management at those Banks. This live IT access allows DCAM to view portfolios constantly, review activity and reconcile trades, access research and enter orders on-line with certain banks, model portfolios, and conduct sensitivity analyses for different market scenarios and / or investment mandates.

Reporting
DCAM periodically consolidates the different Portfolios of each of its clients that are held with different banks into one reporting system. This reporting system itemises the individual security positions in the appropriate asset classes based on the real underlying exposure and incorporates the full Asset Allocation breakdown and Currency Allocation, as well as the risk management parameters agreed with the Client.

Private Client Services
DCAM and DCD strive to deliver a superior service via a stable and committed team, in contrast to the high turnover commonly associated with the financial services industry.
