To deliver consistent positive returns
– whatever happens in the financial markets.
Ruffer LLP is a London-based firm founded in 1994, with over $24.4 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 31 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.
