Ruffer LLP WS Total Return
(Class O Accumulation [GBP])To seek to achieve positive returns in all market conditions over any 12 month period, after all costs and charges have been taken. Underlying this objective is a fundamental philosophy of capital preservation. Capital invested is at risk and there is no guarantee that a positive return will be delivered over any twelve-month period.
Started as a research analyst at SLC Asset Management in 1987 where he became Head of Equities in charge of £5bn of equity funds. In 1999 he moved to HSBC Investment Bank as Head of UK and European Equity Strategy, before joining Ruffer LLP in September 2003. He became a non-executive director of JP Morgan Fleming Continental Investment Trust in 2005.
Joined Ruffer in 2011 after graduating from Edinburgh University with a first class honours degree in history and German. He worked as an equity analyst in Hong Kong before taking up a role in Ruffer’s institutional investment team. He was made a manager of the Total Return Fund in 2019.
