About
The Artemis Company
Artemis
Investment Management Limited was established by Mark Tyndall, John
Dodd, Derek Stuart and Lindsay Whitelaw in 1997 as a dedicated active
investment management house specialising in investments for retail
investors. They wanted to create a company that offered investors
superior returns and service, as well as being a progressive, vibrant
and comfortable place to work for its employees.
From humble beginnings the company has grown to the extent that
it now manages an asset base of some £3.5bn. Clients’
investments are spread across a range of 10 unit trust funds, a
multi-manager investment service, as well as segregated institutional
portfolios.
Despite
such rapid growth the founding partners continue to manage clients’
money and have been joined by 7 other dedicated investment managers
who share the same flair and enthusiasm for fund management.
In
2002, ABN AMRO acquired a 58% stake in the company, but executive
control remains with the original founder shareholders.
Since
the first funds were launched in 1998 Artemis has established a
reputation for strong investment performance in up as well as down
markets.
Their
investment mandates encourage individual style and freedom of thought
demonstrated by a track record which validates their approach.
The
Artemis philosophy requires their fund managers, all of whom are
shareholders in the business, to invest in their own products. This
means that their fund managers’ interests are directly aligned
with their investors.
What
Do Artemis Believe In?
"A share is simply a mechanism for making money. If it is
going to make us a profit, we'll buy it. If not, we let someone
else buy it." Mark Tyndall, CEO and founding partner, Artemis
Investment Management.
The
philosophy that has driven Artemis' reputation for delivering outstanding
investment returns is based around the team's belief that a fund's
primary aim is to beat the markets. Believe it or not, this simple
and basic aim - to make money - is sometimes foregone by managers
and organisations, forced into sacrificing performance for a commitment
to house style and process. House styles can be viewed as, and often
are, restrictive, especially if implemented to suit a particular
sort of market, for instance one dominated by growth, when another
trend is more prevalent.
"Neither
a growth nor value investor be".
Artemis
believe that whatever the markets are doing, opportunities for superior
returns are usually available for active managers to find, provided
they possess the skills and confidence necessary to identify and
exploit what's on offer at any time. Hence, there are no stylised
constraints imposed on our fund managers, which could be seen as
restrictive.
As
active fund managers, not only are they given the freedom to adapt
to changing markets, they are encouraged to stock-pick, to take
responsibility, and to put their collective selves on the line.
Artemis
invest alongside you
One
of the primary foundations of the Artemis philosophy is that personal
trading is not permitted - Artemis managers must invest in Artemis
funds, so their money goes into the market alongside yours - a practice
which they believe is unique in financial services.
