Consulting and advice

At Harrington Cooper we believe we have acquired a superior depth of knowledge about the fund management industry and the discretionary investing community. Although spread throughout the team, the mainstay of this experience and knowledge resides with our Managing Partner, Patrick Cooper, in a career that started twenty-three years ago at Mercury Asset Management. Subsequent posts included being Sales Director at Morgan Grenfell Asset Management and, in 1999, Head of Retail at Axa Investment Managers UK; later, at J O Hambro Investment Management (2002-2006), he helped to set-up a Dublin range of UCITS funds on whose board he continues to sit.

Based on these credentials, as well as the strength and depth of the knowledge and experience within our team, we provide advice on many other areas of business development which is often vital for our current fund manager partners. Areas that we have covered recently, at no extra cost but as part of our retainer fee, have included:

• fund launches and repositioning funds, including absolute-return UCITS III
• fund structuring & domicile
• marketing plans, PR & media relations
• product marketability & demand assesment
• fund pricing
• non-UK distribution
• general market feedback
