Tatton Investment Management Limited was launched in 2013 and is one of the fastest growing investment managers in the UK, managing over £6 billion of assets.
Our award-winning investment team manages our range of discretionary portfolios and funds for the clients of Financial Advisers.
As a firm we work closely with Financial Advisers without interfering in the relationship with their clients. We believe financial advice is essential, which is why our portfolios are only available through Financial Advisers.
Why invest with Tatton?
A full range of diversified investment portfolios
We offer five ranges of investment portfolios built around different investment outcomes. Each has up to six risk-rated diversified portfolios that invest in a range of underlying funds. Our investment team spreads risk across different assets and ensures any investment costs stay low. We also offer a full range of ethical portfolios.
Your Financial Adviser will help you to work out which strategy and investment portfolio is right for you, based on your investment goals, how long you plan to invest and how you feel about risk.
More flexibility to target better returns
Once your Financial Adviser understands what you want to achieve, we will manage your investments in an investment portfolio that stays close to your goals and risk profile. We actively manage the portfolio and we are not limited to using any particular fund manager, investment style or geographical location. It means we can explore new opportunities as they arise and help protect portfolios from over-valued investments. We believe this approach can offer better returns by making our portfolios flexible, responsive and cost effective.
A word about investment risk
As with any investment, there are no guarantees and the value of investments can go down as well as up. We manage the investment risk within our portfolios to stay in line with what our investors are comfortable with. It’s so important to discuss your needs and goals with your Financial Adviser, so that your investments are managed to meet your expectations both in terms of potential gains and your ability to withstand any losses.
Our Investment Approach
Our aim is to produce outcomes that align with our investors’ objectives by managing investment risk, keeping costs low and generating sustainable returns. We call this investment excellence.
When we invest, we begin by taking a top-down view of the global economy before working our way towards the individual funds that we believe will capture a given investment opportunity. We won’t compromise investment risk to chase returns, which is why we believe it is important to look at the bigger picture.
Our seven-step investment process
The value of investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than the amount invested.
Our investment professionals work in a tight-knit, collegiate atmosphere that encourages the sharing of ideas. The team meets on a regular basis to review developments in financial markets and the global economy, with all decisions on new investments and portfolio rebalancing determined by the investment committee.
What makes the Tatton team different?
Our investment approach and business ethos.
Tatton brings together proven, knowledgeable investment professionals, dedicated to delivering the best experience for our investors. Like Tatton itself, our team believes discretionary investment management should be accessible for most investors, not just the very rich, and that difference is at the heart of how we manage money.

Tatton Tracker Portfolios
The Tatton Tracker Portfolios are constructed from passive funds. The portfolios are managed in the same way as our other portfolios and following the same geographical and asset allocation strategies, with the exception of using passive rather than actively managed funds. Passive funds have lower charges meaning the Tatton Tracker portfolios have the lowest costs of any of our portfolios.
The funds we select invest in UK and global equities, fixed income, alternatives and cash.
The Tatton Tracker portfolios use our seven-stage investment process to ensures our investment team’s ideas and standards are applied consistently for all of our investors.
The value of investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than the amount invested.
Tatton Income Portfolios
The Tatton Income Portfolios seek to generate reliable income and capital growth to ensure asset values stay in line with inflation. The portfolios are managed in the same way as our other portfolios and following the same geographical and asset allocation strategies, with the exception of using income generating share classes of actively managed funds.
The funds we select invest in UK and global equities, fixed income, alternatives and cash.

Tatton AIM Inheritance Tax Portfilio
Our AIM Inheritance Tax Portfolio service is an estate planning service that uses Business Relief, a tax benefit applied to the shares of many companies listed on Alternative Investment Market (AIM), to reduce the inheritance tax (IHT) liability of investors.
Our robust investment process helps us to identify profitable, growing businesses that may also qualify for 100% IHT relief. This means investments in our Tatton AIM IHT Portfolio can potentially be exempt from IHT after two years.
AIM stocks can be volatile, particularly during general stock market downturns, and carry a higher risk of company failure. Therefore, investing in AIM is mostly suitable for investors who have a long-term horizon for their investment, and are willing to accept the higher risks associated with investing in such companies.
Levels, bases of and reliefs from taxation may be subject to change and their value depends on the individual circumstances of the investor.
These are generally considered higher-risk investments and may not be considered suitable for all types of investors. You could lose some or all of your capital.
