Protection and long-term compound growth across the generations
Ruffer’s aim is to deliver positive returns, regardless of how the financial markets perform.
Our conservative investment process uses conventional assets in a different way to most managers. It is designed to protect and grow the value of our clients’ assets – avoiding large losses, and harnessing the power of compounding over time.
Put simply, we are a natural partner for families seeking a long-term home for their ‘rainy day’ money.

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’. Typically, family office clients use Ruffer in one or more of the following ways
Ruffer provides a discretionary investment management service to family offices in a number of countries worldwide.
Families investing with Ruffer can have their own segregated portfolio, or invest via a pooled fund.
Segregated portfolios can be tailored to clients’ requirements – to incorporate investment restrictions, for example.
Ruffer can also act as a thought partner for our family office clients, sharing expertise on, for example, asset allocation and ESG.
As a private partnership with a genuinely long-term investment strategy, Ruffer’s culture, ethos and timeframe are all closely aligned with those of its family office clients.
