The firm

An independent partner, accountable only to those we serve.

John Investments Wealth Management is the private wealth division of John Investments Limited. We are independent by design: free of proprietary products, distribution incentives and the conflicts that accompany them. Our sole mandate is the long-term interest of our clients.

That independence changes the nature of advice. It allows us to build portfolios from the whole of the market, to hold positions through cycles rather than quarters, and to measure success in decades and generations rather than benchmarks.

Read our story
Capital preserved is capital compounded.

Investment philosophy

Patient, evidence-led, and built to endure.

01

Preservation before performance

We manage downside first. Protecting capital through difficult markets is the foundation on which durable, real returns are compounded.

02

The whole of the market

Open architecture gives our clients access to the best managers and instruments available globally, selected on merit rather than affiliation.

03

Alignment without exception

We are compensated by our clients, not by product providers. Our interests and theirs are structurally the same.

Private Markets26%
Fixed Income22%
Real Assets & Hedge18%

Portfolio construction

Allocation built around the client, not the model.

Every mandate begins with objectives, liquidity needs and time horizon. From there we construct a diversified allocation spanning public and private markets, calibrated to the level of risk each family is genuinely willing and able to bear.

Allocation to private & alternative markets44%

From the Chairman

Wealth is not measured in a single year. It is the quiet accumulation of good decisions, protected from the temptation to make dramatic ones.
Alexander J. Hartley
Chairman & Founding Partner

Alexander Hartley founded John Investments in 1980 on a simple conviction: that serious wealth deserves advice free of conflict, and patience free of the pressure to perform on someone else's schedule.

More than four decades on, that conviction remains the firm's organising principle. Ownership sits with the partners who serve our clients, ensuring that the interests of the firm and the families it advises never diverge.

In their words

They understood that our objective was continuity, not the next quarter. In fifteen years, that has never wavered.
