Institutional Investors 

Welcome to the Liontrust website for institutional investors. Liontrust has a long history of managing investments on behalf of institutions and their clients, members and policyholders. These include pension funds (both defined contribution and defined benefit schemes), insurance companies and local government authorities.

Liontrust’s investment capabilities have been demonstrated by the number of awards the company and our fund management teams have won in recent years. This includes winning UK Manager of the Year at the Financial News Asset Management Awards 2022.

Through this website, you can read about the processes and capabilities of our investment strategies for institutional investors. You can also find the latest thinking and insights of our investment teams, including the Sustainable Investment team’s Annual Review, and the Liontrust team that works with institutional investors.

Liontrust strategies for institutional investors

We work in partnership with institutional investors to have a positive impact on their members and policyholders, seeking to help them reach their financial objectives over the long term.

To achieve this, Liontrust focuses on those areas of investment in which we have particular expertise. We believe in the benefits of active fund management over the long term and all our fund managers are truly active. Liontrust has seven fund management teams investing in Equities (globally and regionally), Global Fixed Income, Sustainable Investment and Multi-Asset portfolios and funds.

Each of our investment teams applies distinct and rigorous investment processes to the management of funds and portfolios that ensure the way we manage assets on behalf of institutional clients is predictable and repeatable. Our fund managers are independent thinkers and have the courage of their convictions in making investment decisions.
