Ruffer provides a discretionary investment management service.
This means clients delegate investment decision-making to us.
We try to provide a service that combines good investment returns with first class Guernsey based administration and clear reporting.
Clients have direct access to a dedicated portfolio manager in the UK who regularly visits the Channel Islands. The portfolio manager oversees all aspects of the client’s relationship with Ruffer, supported by a wider team.
We have a distinctive investment style, offering an alternative to volatile equity investment, hedge funds, and to traditional active fund management.
Our approach is sometimes categorised as ‘dynamic asset allocation’.
