Majedie Investments PLC seeks to deliver long-term capital growth at an attractive rate above inflation, while preserving shareholders’ capital.
Our portfolio is managed by Marylebone Partners LLP, an independent FCA regulated manager based in London and founded in 2013. Marylebone Partners' liquid-endowment approach targets strong and differentiated returns with equities at its heart.
Marylebone Partners’ defining feature is its ability to find eclectic, bottom-up opportunities, sourced through an ideas network built over more than three decades at leading firms. These investments rarely come onto the radar screen of other allocators and / or are not sufficiently scalable to be considered by some large institutional firms. Hence, the overlap between the Majedie portfolio and those of its peers should be low. An investment in Majedie Investments PLC can therefore complement other holdings in a long-term programme.
The approach is focused on the three main investment strategies: hard-to-access special investments, allocations to specialist external funds, and direct investments in public equities.
Majedie Investments PLC has a long and distinguished history, with its origins in family-owned rubber estates in Malaysia. One of the estates under its ownership was named Majedie. Over time, the business evolved to focus on financial investments, leading to its establishment as an investment company. On 1st October 1985, the company obtained investment trust status.
Whereas the investment approach has developed since 1910 to reflect a changing world and to pursue new opportunities, the core tenets of Majedie Investments PLC are the same. Now, as then, we seek to grow and preserve generational wealth through a progressive and responsible investment approach, whilst always putting shareholders’ interests first.
