Common questions on financial planning and investing

We evaluate your current approach, rebuild risk parameters and position sizing, refine entry and exit frameworks, and enhance execution discipline. For investors, we align asset allocation with objectives, clarify mandates, and establish a consistent review structure. The aim is to create repeatable, data-driven decisions that strengthen profitability and reduce drawdowns.

Professional trading desks, multi-strategy funds, family offices, and qualified private investors. Typical engagements involve a lead PM or head of trading, plus key analysts or quants.
In the first 1–2 weeks we baseline KPIs like slippage, drawdown, and hit rate. Most clients start seeing cleaner risk and fewer outlier days within one to two quarters as new rules and reviews take hold.
Week 1: NDA, secure data access, objective setting, KPI baseline. Weeks 2–3: map process, set risk budgets, build sizing and de-risk rules, confirm execution playbooks. Week 4: go-live plus a dashboard and weekly reviews.

Alan Howard co-founded, managed, and later stepped down from Brevan Howard Asset Management, a leading global macro hedge fund he launched in 2002 in London. Under his leadership, the firm grew into a powerhouse managing around $30–35 billion in assets, renowned for its disciplined risk management and outstanding macro trading performance. Before stepping down from Brevan Howard, he founded Alan Howard Consultancy in 2016 as a private investment advisory firm, which expanded globally in 2024, providing strategic financial guidance and portfolio management to elite clients and institutions. Howard officially stepped down from Brevan Howard in 2019, and his primary focus is now Alan Howard Consultancy, through which he continues to maintain and expand his legacy of innovation, precision, and excellence in global finance.
