Modern investment thinking for over 140 years

Welcome to F&C

Alain Grisay

Chief Executive

Welcome to the corporate website of F&C Asset Management plc ("F&C"). We are a diversified asset management group which is exclusively focused on providing investment solutions to our clients. Unlike most asset managers we are both independent (not part of a bank, insurance company or conglomerate) and we are publicly listed. Our shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange (Ticker: FCAM.L) and we are a constituent of the FTSE 250 and FTSE All-Share indices.

We are a forward-looking Group but also one with a rich heritage. We trace our origins to the ground-breaking launch of the first-ever listed pooled investment fund, the Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust, in 1868. It is an investment portfolio we are proud to continue to manage almost a century and a half later.

Today the majority of the assets we manage are for insitutional investors such as insurance companies and pension schemes. We are one of the largest fixed income asset managers in Europe and we provide a range of investment solutions to instutional investors including strategies to help them address solvency requirements, immunise future liabilities and shareholder engagement overlay programmes.

In addition to the core institutionally-focused F&C business, the Group today includes Thames River, a boutique fund manager with strong expertise in absolute return and multi-manager funds and F&C REIT, a global real-estate asset manager. Together we manage combined assets of over £100 billion across all the major asset classes – fixed income, equities, property and money markets – as well as in a number of specialist areas. We manage investments for a diverse range of institutional and retail clients who collectively represent the interests of more than 3 million individuals across the globe which we service from an office network spanning eight countries.

Whether you are looking for someone to manage your investments or are considering becoming a shareholder in our Group, we hope you will find this site a useful resource.
