People

People are the cornerstone of our business. We want to create a real and tangible partnership structure. It is our people's skill, knowledge and experience that allow us to meet and exceed the needs of our clients. In building the team at River and Mercantile the focus will always be on recruiting those who are not only considered ‘best of breed’ in their particular discipline, but who equally understand the key roles they must play within a closely-knit team whose aim is to provide the highest possible standard of service in all facets of our offering.

Process

Our Investment processes are unique. They are the product of over 100 years of combined investment experience gained by our fund managers and they represent their strong convictions to the best methods of identifying and capitalising on significant investment opportunities. They are designed to achieve very attractive risk adjusted returns, consistently and over the time horizons required by our clients. The UK and Global equity teams have carried out detailed analysis of how they have successfully achieved industry leading returns in the past, and how they believe these processes can be enhanced to deliver even better returns in the future. The processes have been documented and are available to clients.

Performance

We believe that good performance flows from the combination of the right people in the right operating environment, utilising a clear and well researched investment process and where individuals are focused on their primary roles within the team, are properly supported and appropriately incentivised. Our fund management teams have an enviable track record and we passionately believe we will be able to do a better job than most larger firms where the problems of uncontrollable growth, high staff turnover and subsequent performance dispersion is common.

We believe in...

" ..a business that sustains its members…..that supports and nourishes them throughout the span of the business. A strong family unit creating a safe, positive and supportive place for all members to thrive and one in which they are able to utilise resources and to operate together in a constructive and fully aligned manner to the best interests of our clients."
