Hanson Asset Management

Overview

Hanson Asset Management Limited (HAM) is a boutique fund management and advisory firm headquartered in London, providing fund and asset management services, investment advisory services to institutions, families, and sophisticated third-party investors. They offer a personal approach with a wide variety of investment strategies and tailor-made solutions that focus on clients' investment needs and financial capabilities to achieve their investment goals and simplify their investment experience. The firm was founded by the Hanson family as a family office before the term became common parlance, with a mandate that embraced the management of liquid and alternative investments with a capital preservation bias, including real estate and general advisory services. In 2010, Hanson Asset Management was created to formalize the management and oversight of Hanson Family assets under an FCA regulated entity. They began to formally act for families and individuals that were in effect members of the extended Hanson Family, but it was not until 2012 that they began to act for third-party clients. Their mantra remains unchanged: clients are true partners who receive the same level of attention and service commitment as the founding family and rank pari-passu in every respect. Hanson Asset Management focuses on finding best-in-class investments suited to clients' needs and expectations. They craft client investment portfolios without conflict of interest or compromise and ensure charges are completely transparent from the outset. Their investment team has a rare blend of institutional and private client disciplines with many years of experience dedicated to achieving the best possible investment solutions for clients. They have access to the resources and expertise of leading investment firms while retaining the flexibility to investigate niche opportunities and investments. Their overall investment philosophy is based on capital preservation with diversification by asset classes, geography, product type, and overseeing managers, and tactical asset allocation based on current economic trends. The investment universe is constantly expanding with new types of investments becoming available to the private investor. Hanson Asset Management can acquire and effectively manage equities, fixed income, cash and currencies, collective investment schemes, private equity, hedge funds, structured products, and derivative investments. Hanson Asset Management employs sophisticated, quantitative, and qualitative approaches to arrive at the asset allocation and fund selection for model portfolios. When selecting investments, their independence ensures that there are no restrictions as to which instruments can be chosen, and each investment is selected on its own merits. The most appropriate investments are always sought for each asset class within a portfolio.
