Our Portfolios

How Our Portfolios Work

At Scientiam, our portfolios are built entirely with funds from Vanguard or Dimensional — two global leaders with decades of experience and reputations for disciplined, research-driven investing. We’ve selected these managers due to their long track record, reasonable fees and global expertise and scale.

We offer a range of portfolios with different asset allocations, from conservative through to high growth, so you can choose the level of risk and return potential that best suits your goals. Each portfolio is carefully diversified across asset classes and markets, helping to manage risk while giving your money the opportunity to grow over time.
