J O Hambro Investment Management, the UK business owned by Credit Suisse, has launched an asset allocation service for clients with portfolios of £250,000 (approx $410,000) and over to make use of the firm’s discretionary management service.

The managed funds team at the firm will construct tailored asset allocations for clients across three funds: the JOHIM Sterling Bond Fund; the JOHIM Equity Fund and JOHIM Alternatives Fund.

Each client’s asset allocation between the above funds is strategically tailored to their individual requirements and actively managed thereafter. Clients will have direct access to a dedicated JOHIM portfolio manager, the firm said.

J O Hambro Investment Management was founded in 1986 by the Hambro family, and acquired in 2000 by Credit Suisse group, although the firm remains a separately managed entity. It employs 101 staff and manages about £3.1 billion of assets.
