Fund Managers We Represent

Harrington Cooper offers professional investors access to a range of diversified investment strategies and styles through one contact point:

• We are the sole UK representative of our fund managers for the discretionary fund-buying market.
• We have long-term partnerships with these fund managers.
• We put huge emphasis on building long-term relationships with you: the discretionary and institutional fund-buying market.
• We take pride in understanding exactly how our client base approaches investments, asset allocation and fund use so that we only approach them with relevant product.
• We only partner with managers who are prepared to properly resource their asset gathering activities and give our prospective investors regular access to their investment professionals.
• We are not an additional layer of cost for investors—we are paid as any internal sales team would be by the fund managers we represent.

Due Diligence

In order to ascertain whether a fund management capability is appropriate for our client base, we conduct the following due-diligence:

• We conduct a market test of the business with a core group of fund buyers and industry commentators. The results of this test confirm or contradict our view on demand for the asset class, and the credibility and robustness of investment process and management team.

• We investigate their corporate structure to determine potential investor suitability.

• We appraise the cultural fit of the fund manager to ensure their views, approach and personalities are aligned with our fund-buying market and also with our targets and expectations for growing their business.
