To deliver consistent positive returns
– whatever happens in the financial markets.
Ruffer LLP is a London-based firm founded in 1994, with over $28.3 billion of assets under management.
We provide investment management services for family offices, wealth managers, pension funds, endowments and foundations in parts of the Middle East.
Over 29 years the Ruffer portfolio has delivered consistent positive returns with a low correlation to equities (and other asset classes).
This success is the result of a disciplined and genuinely different investment philosophy and approach.
| We do | One thing – investment management |
| The strategy | Global, multi-asset, absolute return |
| So far | A 29 year track record, 8.1% net annualised returns* |
| Protection | Positive performance through the dot.com bust, global financial crisis and covid-19 |
| Stewardship | Environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues are integrated into our process |
| Investors | Private investor origins, now over 68% institutional investors worldwide |
* Past performance is not a guide to future performance. Regulatory performance disclosure
Our approach is unchanged since Jonathan Ruffer (Chairman) founded the firm in 1994.
The investment strategy and asset allocation are set by set by Henry Maxey and Neil McLeish, Co-Chief Investment Officers, supported by a team of senior fund managers and research analysts.
All the firm’s resources are focused on delivering this single investment strategy.
| Offices | London, Paris, New York, Edinburgh and Guernsey |
| Founded | 1994 |
| Ownership | Independent private partnership, an owner-managed firm |
| People | Over 330 work at Ruffer as at 31 March 2024 |
