Private & Institutional Asset Management (UK)

Taylor Young Investment Management was founded in 1986 to provide highly personalised thematic investment management to individuals. Whilst we now provide this service to individuals, family trusts, pension funds, companies and charities, we remain focused on and committed to our twin goals of providing the best in investment management and delivering the highest levels of service to our clients. Our strength is our ability to know our clients and their individual needs and we achieve this by restricting the number of clients each investment manager has at a level well below the industry average. This allows us to remain fully focused on our clients and to tailor our service to meet the individual needs of each of our clients. Our boutique size and approach also allows
us to remain focused on our innovative thematic and research led approach to investments ensuring that we have both the time and resource required to deliver the best performance across the range of mandates we offer.

We remain operationally independent and, therefore, have no conflicts of interest and no external pressure put upon us. By design, the TYIM Investment Process is:

Rigorous, freethinking and independent - It does not track indices and, therefore, it takes a reasoned view on its investment strategy.

Thematic in approach - Its ideas are current and relevant
Agile - It can and does respond to a rapidly changing environment

Transparent and searching - Its process is readily understandable but enables us to search out the very best investments

Independent - It avoids conflicts of interest

Flexible, yet controlled - It adopts risk controls and parameters that can be modified to meet its clients' requirements

Its investment philosophy is to blend these attributes and guide clients throughout the lifecycle of their wealth management.
