History

The company was established through a rights issue by a much larger fund, Atlantic Assets, managed by Ivory and Sime, in 1983. [3] In 1990, an asset manager with Ivory and Sime, Ian Rushbrook, took over the management of the company and decided that it should be "run expressly for private investors". [4] Over the next 25 years, he grew the business significantly and also used it as a vehicle to protect his own family's financial interests. [5] [6]
