In a world of macroeconomic stress, geopolitical uncertainty and political unrest, clients need a manager who is not only a proven original thinker but also with the courage to meaningfully position portfolios to take on the challenges investors face.
WELCOME TO ODEY WEALTH
Odey Wealth is an independent boutique wealth management firm
We offer discerning investors active portfolio management, focused on absolute returns, driven by original thinking and independent in-house research. With offices in London and Guernsey we offer both onshore and offshore services.
WHO WE ARE
Portfolios built on first principles
Odey was established by Crispin Odey in 1991 to focus on active fund management at a time when the industry was obsessed with investment indices. Crispin was determined that original research and rigorous analysis should drive the investment process. We feel this even more keenly today as investment houses are too big and process-led to adapt to changes in world economies. We remain committed to these principles: our Portfolio Managers build portfolios from first principles using judgment and primary research to set asset allocation, to understand industrial cycles, and to select stocks. Crucially, our portfolio managers are heavily invested in the strategies we run.
Odey Wealth was launched in 2008 with the opening of our Guernsey office to manage portfolios for offshore private clients by combining Odey’s proven asset allocation skills with the portfolio construction expertise of our team in Guernsey. In 2010, our London office opened its doors to bring that same expertise to UK residents.
Odey Wealth is part of the Odey Group which also includes Odey Asset Management and Brook Asset Management.
For two decades I have worried that private clients do not get direct access to the top investment talent. With the burden of regulation and administration, most managers prefer large (and preferably silent) institutional clients. We think differently and have found that our approach suits owners of capital well.

WHY ODEY WEALTH
Conviction investing for private clients
We are willing to take a view for our clients
Our Portfolio Managers are heavily invested in the portfolios they run so their interests aligned with those of our clients.
We have the ability to make returns whatever the weather
Our clients do not expect us to simply deliver index returns or to rely solely on strong equity markets. We focus on absolute returns and chase this with active portfolio management. We achieve this with a flexible approach to asset allocation and can use short positions to take advantage of difficult markets.
We have one of the best research teams in the industry
Our reputation in the market allows us to attract the best research talent out there and our analysts have spent their careers becoming some of the top in their sectors. Our portfolio managers are not afraid to take a concentrated positions in our highest conviction ideas in order to make them count in clients’ portfolios.
We have reputation for being contrarian
As a boutique firm, we are more agile than our competitors and are nearly always ahead of the herd. This has given us a reputation for being contrarian investors.
We don’t offer your average portfolio
It is a lesser known truth that large investment firms running many billions in AUM are too bulky to participate in the more interesting, smaller and unresearched areas of the market. Our smaller size gives us an edge allowing us to discover exciting opportunities unlikely to appear on the radar of our competitors.
We believe in face-to-face customer service
We believe a personal service is key when it comes to investments. Clients have direct access to a dedicated Investment Director and we make sure they have time for you. We report to our clients quarterly and provide online access to valuations.
