Our modus operandi is simple: get the right people for the job and then give them the freedom to get the job done. To remain ruthlessly focussed on their mission to deliver returns, without distractions and without interference. Yet still operating within a rigorous risk control framework. You see, we think that talented fund managers should be encouraged to act on their convictions, not follow a house style. Or invest by committee. We provide our fund managers with an environment that enables them to simply run money, within a series of individual boutiques. Rewarding them for results that are directly aligned with the interests of the investor. It’s an approach that we call ‘the licence to perform’.
Ignis: The organisation
Previously known as Resolution, Ignis has around £69 billion^ under management. But within this large framework we believe in small teams operating as multi-boutiques. We not only have independent in-house teams, we also support three joint venture operations: Argonaut, Cartesian and HEXAM. Specialists who work autonomously but remain within the risk control mechanisms of the larger organisation. It’s a system designed to maximise individual talent while retaining rigorous accountability. With expertise in UK, European, US, Asia Pacific, global and emerging markets, and across all asset classes including equities, fixed income, commercial property, multi manager and alternatives, Ignis’ powerful reach spans the world.
