Who is Ignis?

Ignis Asset Management has a powerful structure that is designed to deliver outperformance across a broad fund range and meet the varying needs of clients.

Ignis, formerly Resolution Asset Management, was renamed in November 2008. Whilst being owned by Phoenix Group, a London Stock Exchange listed company, Ignis operates totally independently and manages around £71 billion* of assets on behalf of UK and overseas retail and institutional investors. This robust capital base provides long-term financial stability, an important consideration for investors.

Ignis comprises a series of small, highly experienced entrepreneurial investment teams, both within the proprietary Ignis investment teams and the Ignis joint venture teams. Talented individuals work best in small teams where they have the freedom to follow their convictions and there is clear accountability for delivering results.  Ignis offers high standards of sales, marketing and back-office support, allowing fund managers to focus on what they do best - managing money in the interests of investors.

The Ignis multi-boutique structure consists of a broad range of proprietary teams in Glasgow and London complemented by a small number of joint venture boutiques, Argonaut and Cartesian being the longest-established of these. With a focus on performance, service and sales support, Ignis is committed to delivering the best results for clients and offering compelling products that meet their changing needs.
