Gresham House Launches New Online Investor Portal

The new portal is part of the firm's plan to bolster its digital offerings.

UK-headquartered Gresham House, the alternative asset manager, has launched an online investor portal in a bid to better its clients' digital experience.

The portal will enable clients to access deal-by-deal co-investment opportunities. Users will have access to information on the underlying assets, including appraisal and investment papers where available, allowing them the discretion to increase their investment into regions, sectors or deals specific to their interests, the firm said in a statement.

As well as facilitating co-investment opportunities, the portal will provide portfolio monitoring and reporting services, and a platform for client communication. 

It was built by MMT Digital, a digital agency that works in partnership with clients to create digital solutions.

“As a group, we want to differentiate ourselves from our competitors by providing a best in class digital experience for investors,” said Andy Hampshire, chief technology officer at Gresham House. “The consumer sector has traditionally been on the front foot when it comes to innovative user engagement and is better at meeting the digital needs of its clients so this is where we chose to focus when it came to developing our own portal.”

Hampshire added: “We understand that in addition to financial returns, investors are looking for greater transparency, more informed decision making in their co-investments and a higher level of engagement and communication. With the launch of this platform we believe that we are at the forefront of the alternative sector in formalising the co-investment process. We are executing a sophisticated technology strategy that not only meets the demands of clients but readies the Gresham House asset management’s digital era.”

Incorporated in 1857, Gresham House manages investments and co-investments through its investment management platform on behalf of institutions, family offices, high net worth individuals, charities and endowments, and private individuals.
