Who We Are
Hanson Asset Management provides
investment management and advisory
services globally to wealthy families, high
net worth individuals and entrepreneurs.
We also service institutions such as pension
funds and charities.
Hanson Asset Management’s predecessor entity was founded by the Hanson
family essentially as a family office before the term became common parlance,
with a mandate that embraced the management of liquid and alternate
investments with a capital preservation bias including real estate investments
and general advisory services. In 2010, Hanson Asset Management was created
to formalise the management and oversight of Hanson Family assets under an
FCA regulated umbrella and at that point we began to formally act for families
and individuals that were in effect members of the extended Hanson Family.
It was not until 2012 that we began to act for third party clients, our mantra
however remains the same: our clients are true partners who receive the same
level of attention and service commitment as the founding family and rank
pari-passu in every respect. Hanson Asset Management is based in London.

LOOKING
AT YOUR
INVESTMENTS
FROM A NEW
PERSPECTIVE
Hanson Asset Management marries
the best of a family office with a global
financial institution.
We offer the high levels of service, transparency and absence of bureaucracy
that are the hallmarks of an excellent family office combining them with
the global reach, intellectual rigour and expertise of a major international
financial institution. For us each client is separate and distinct, as a result we
bring all our expertise and resources to offer tailored solutions to a client’s needs.

OUR SUCCESS
IN ASSET
MANAGEMENT
IS BUILT ON
THREE Core
Principles
Our business is built on
three core principles:
Independence and Objectivity
We have no tied in-house managed funds or investments. Instead, we focus
on finding for our clients best in class investments that are most suited to their
needs and expectations. We craft our client investment portfolios without
conflict of interest or compromise and ensure our charges are completely
transparent from the outset.
Alignment
The assets of the founding family, our money and that of our clients are all
managed side by side. We make money when our clients are making money
and we treat all of our clients in the same manner.
Intellectual Rigour and Expertise
Our investment team has a rare blend of institutional and private client
disciplines. We also have access to the resources and expertise of leading
global investment firms while retaining the flexibility to investigate niche
opportunities and investments. Uniquely, Hanson Asset Management has
formed an investment consulting practise to provide independent investment
advice, examine portfolio risk, risk mitigation strategies and monitor
investment managers.

Our Investment Philosophy.
Generating
healthy
returns
on your
investment
for an
acceptable
level of risk
Hanson Asset Management’s main objective is to achieve as high a
return as possible for the client’s acceptable level of risk. Every effort is
made to avoid capital losses by ensuring levels of risk are closely monitored
and managed on a real-time basis.
For us each client is unique. We see our job as working with the client to
develop investment solutions that address his or her particular personal
concerns, responsibilities and ambitions.
Our overall investment philosophy is based on the following key points:
• Preserving capital while generating returns
• Diversification by asset class, geography, product and manager
• Tactical asset allocation based on our analysis of economic trends and
cycles, valuations and market sentiment
• Open architecture and rigorous, fundamental analysis
The investment universe is constantly expanding with new types of
investments becoming available to the private investor. Hanson Asset
Management is able to purchase and manage equities, fixed income,
cash and currencies, collective investments, private equity, hedge funds,
structured products, property and derivatives.

Investment Process
Our independence enables us to take advantage of the best research on offer,
from top global institutions as well as specialist boutiques and well known
economic and market commentators. Additionally, our investment selection
is unbiased as we have no obligations to investment houses or product
providers. Each investment is selected by us on its own merits.

Discretionary
Portfolio
Management
tailored
to your
individual needs
A core service is managing client
portfolios on a discretionary basis.
We focus on finding the best solution for
client portfolios without the conflicts of
interest created by proprietary products
or commissions on third party products.
We work in a discretionary capacity to provide a comprehensive asset
management service. The core functions include portfolio review and
management, asset allocation at the strategic and tactical level, and best of
breed product selection.
We begin with generating an in-depth understanding of a client’s situation
and formulate an appropriate investment plan in partnership with the client
to meet their objectives. We work very hard to establish a deep rapport with
each client; regular meetings are very much encouraged not only to discuss
portfolios, but also to keep current with our clients’ evolving circumstances
and financial requirements.
Our investment selection process encompasses the identification of economic
and market trends. In formulating a bespoke portfolio our team will analyse
and select the appropriate funds, index trackers, equities, credit instruments,
alternative investments and other securities across geographies. This is combined
with constant monitoring of both market and operational risk within individual
portfolios and across the product range in which we invest to maximise returns
for clients.
