Investment Management based in London
By choosing Ptarmigan, you choose a partner; not a product provider.
Analysing, selecting, and monitoring investments on your behalf, our discretionary investment management service puts you at the centre and relieves the pressure of doing it yourself.
Discretionary Investment Management
We understand that discretionary investment management often comes with premium cost without the returns, or personalisation to justify that cost.
Our approach is constructed to maximise the chances of success. We understand what constitutes good judgement in investing, and create those conditions for our portfolio managers.
Analysing your existing holdings against your overarching objectives, we create a portfolio that suits your needs and gives you a clear understanding of what you’re holding and why.
We fuse fundamental analysis, perceptions of value versus genuine, long term company valuation, layered thinking, and awareness of bias, to produce our investable universe with conviction.
Tailored Investment Strategies
Your wealth is unique to you and your circumstances will always reflect your journey and life. As such, we believe your investment strategies should be the same, which is why every portfolio we implement is built around the specific goals of the client. We also work from a technology-enabled infrastructure that facilitates efficient and individualised investment management.
Transparent Investment Processes
Transparency is crucial for successful investment management and not only provides peace of mind but paints a clear picture of what’s happening with your portfolio. Our direct holding investment strategies remove the opacity of holding managed funds, as well as the additional layer of cost.
Why Choose Our Investment Management Service?
Dedicated And Efficient
Our team is dedicated to our clients and we always put your goals at the forefront of every decision. Drawing on years of experience in prominent institutions, and supported by nimble technology, we’re set up to deliver results.
