Ruffer LLP Portfolio holdings
Ruffer is an independent investment manager owned and run by its partners, with a single global strategy aimed at not losing money over any rolling 12-month period. Jonathan Ruffer, who began as a stockbroker and then became a barrister, started it in 1994 with Robert Shirley, 14th Earl Ferrers, and Jane Tufnell, and it became Ruffer LLP in 2004. The firm starts by weighing the risks it sees in markets and picking assets that should protect the portfolio if they come true, then takes on growth mainly through global stocks. It runs a stock-market-listed investment company, and its clients include pension plans, charities and family offices.
