Established in 1997, Artemis is an owner-managed investment provider known for achieving superior returns through funds that regularly beat their benchmark and peers. Since the first funds were launched in 1998, Artemis has established a reputation for strong investment performance in up, as well as down markets.

The Artemis philosophy requires our fund managers to invest in their funds, which means their interests are directly aligned with those of our investors. The investment mandates encourage individual style and freedom of thought, the benefits of which are demonstrated by a track record validating this approach.

Artemis has grown to the extent that it now manages an asset base of over £14.7bn*, which is spread across a range of unit trust funds, an investment trust, hedge fund products, venture capital trusts, as well as segregated and pooled institutional portfolios.

Artemis believes in active fund management, fundamental for delivering outstanding investment returns based on the team’s belief that its primary aim is to beat the markets by accepting full responsibility for their portfolios.

Artemis employs experienced and highly skilled people who have flair, enthusiasm and above all, a passion for searching out the best stocks that markets have to offer.

“It takes skill, knowledge passion, persistence and dedicated teamwork to compete with the best in the world of offshore ocean racing. Jonny Malbon and the entire Ocean Racing Campaign reflects Artemis Investment Management’s core values and philosophy. Our success is dependent on planning the best course through uncharted territory and hunting down profits for our diverse client base.”

“Artemis Investment Management is pleased to support a thoroughly British IMOCA Open 60 campaign. The boat designed by a British designer, built by a British boat builder, sailed by a British skipper, supported by a British shorecrew and sponsored by a British company. Everyone at Artemis wishes the entire team every success for 2008 and looks forward to seeing Malbon cross the start line and the finish line, of the Vendée Globe in our new Artemis Ocean Racing IMOCA Open 60.”
