An important Delphi strength is that it was set up specifically to provide a strategic and tactical advisory service free from all conflicts of interest.

It is prepared to recommend the status quo, the use of exchange traded products, banks’ own proprietary products or a tailor-made structure proposed to the client by its relationship banks.
