Redington

What Redington does

Redington Limited is a London-headquartered specialist investment consulting firm founded in 2006, now operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. following its acquisition in October 2024. The firm provides outcome-oriented investment advice, manager research, and technology-enabled monitoring services to institutional investors across the United Kingdom, advising on over £600bn in client assets and providing independent oversight to more than £100bn in fiduciary management and outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO) arrangements.

The business is organized around two primary service lines: Investment Consulting, which serves defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes with framework-based strategy design, asset/liability modelling, and ongoing performance monitoring; and Investment Portfolio Solutions, which delivers bespoke investment advice and fund research to wealth managers, endowments, foundations, charities, and local government pension scheme pools. These core offerings are supplemented by sub-products in fiduciary management and OCIO advisory, sustainable investment and stewardship, manager research, pension risk transfer advisory, and pension administration. The firm operates the UK's largest independent specialist manager research team and one of the largest independent sustainable investment teams, and holds authorization from the Financial Conduct Authority.

Redington generates revenue through advisory retainer fees, project-based consulting engagements, and oversight mandates for institutional clients. With a disclosed headcount of 101-250 employees, the firm sells primarily through direct institutional relationships and partnerships with pension scheme pools and administering authorities. Post-acquisition, the franchise is integrated into Gallagher's global retirement, risk, and insurance consulting platform, retaining its specialist consulting identity under the Gallagher brand.

Note on data scope: the source material also contains extensive financial and operational data for a separately incorporated publicly listed entity called Redington Ltd (India), a technology distribution business listed on Indian stock exchanges. That entity is a distinct company from the UK investment consulting firm analyzed here; figures such as ₹119,347 crore FY26 revenue and the four business segments (Software, Endpoint, Mobility, Technology Solutions) apply to the Indian listed company and have not been attributed to the UK entity in this analysis.
