Why Ruffer?

And as important, why not?

We want to set realistic expectations about what to expect from us.

We are keen to help people make informed decisions about whether Ruffer is, or isn’t, a good fit for them.

To us, the ‘why nots’ are as important as the ‘whys’.

Why Ruffer?
Deliberately different Philosophy, performance, perspective. We start by focusing on keeping clients safe.
Consistent, repeatable process Ruffer’s approach is unchanged since 1994 - all the firm’s resource is focused on achieving one outcome.
Genuine diversification and protection Proven track record since 1994 with a low correlation to equities and other asset classes.

Why not?
Dull patches There may be months or years where markets race ahead, and we plod in the slow lane.
No menu We focus on delivering one philosophy well – rather than trying to appeal to everyone.
We make mistakes Investing well isn’t easy. We get things wrong. At times we may lose you money.

 


Why now?

The past 40 years have been kind to investors. Falling interest rates, low inflation and geopolitical stability marked a golden era for asset owners.

But we are entering a new regime in markets, with inflation at its core.

Investors need to prepare for a world of greater inflation volatility. And with it a monumental risk – bonds and equities falling in tandem.

The market is dominated by quantitative trading, grabbing pennies in front of the steamroller. This is now the dynamic driving the market, and so long as it continues, it will make money.
Jonathan Ruffer, Chairman
People often think financial catastrophes occur because herds of humans panic when the emotional pendulum swings from greed to fear.
