TwentyFour Income Fund Limited -
Shareholding in Investment Manager
25 March 2015
The Board of Directors (the "Board") of TwentyFour Income Fund
Limited (the "Company" and/or "TFIF") has been informed by TwentyFour
Asset Management LLP ("TwentyFour" or the "Investment Manager")
that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Vontobel Asset
Management, a multi-boutique asset manager and subsidiary of Vontobel
Group (or "Vontobel")
Vontobel will acquire a 60% shareholding in TwentyFour, with the
working partners retaining a 40% stake in the business. The partners
remain fully committed to TwentyFour with long-term lock-ins. The
Investment Manager will remain autonomous, run by its partners, with
full control over day-to-day business decisions. TwentyFour's
investment strategies will continue to be managed by the existing
team, retaining the same investment process. To further strengthen
alignment, the partners of TwentyFour have agreed to reinvest a
significant share of their consideration into existing TwentyFour
funds.
Commenting on the announcement, Chief Executive of TwentyFour Asset
Management LLP Mark Holman said: "we believe that this is an exciting
and forward-looking transaction that will enable TwentyFour to
achieve its goals and visions for the firm without compromising on
the boutique approach and culture. The partnership unites
TwentyFour's existing entrepreneurial and focused investment approach
with the stability and financial strength of an established European
financial institution. Vontobel is a family-controlled business with
a long heritage and is listed with a market cap of £1.8 billion. They
have an established footprint across continental Europe and the US
with total assets under management of US$83 billion.
From Vontobel's perspective, the transaction strengthens its presence
in the UK market, extends its fixed income product offering and
underlines its commitment to broaden its asset management business
through targeted investments."
