What Sloane Robinson does

Sloane Robinson LLP is a London-based, privately held investment management firm established in 1993 as a Limited Liability Partnership in England and Wales (No. OC309313), historically focused on international equity asset management with an emphasis on Asian and Emerging Markets. The firm built its offering around a long-tenured team led by co-founders Hugh Patrick Sloane (CEO) and George Edward Silvanus Robinson, alongside a Chief Investment Officer/Fund Manager, a Director of Marketing, and a Director of Research. It served exclusively professional clients and eligible counterparties (not retail), generating revenue through traditional asset management fees on client mandates.

From 31 December 2020 onward, Sloane Robinson ceased providing investment management services directly to clients and, effective 1 January 2021, seconded its members to Eschler Asset Management LLP (FCA Firm Reference 510079) to assist Eschler in servicing its clients. The Sloane Robinson LLP entity subsequently applied to the FCA for cancellation of its own authorisation (Firm Reference 409159), leaving the LLP in a transitional, non-client-facing posture. Operationally, the firm currently functions as a talent-and-reputation vehicle contributing personnel to Eschler rather than as an independent revenue-generating manager, with no publicly disclosed pricing, AUM, or revenue figures.
