Genesis Investment Management

What Genesis Investment Management does

Genesis Investment Management, LLP (GIM) is a London-based, FCA-authorised institutional investment manager that specialises exclusively in emerging market equities. The firm is structured as a limited liability partnership registered in England & Wales (company number OC306866) with its registered office at The Smiths Building, 179 Great Portland Street, London W1W 5PL. GIM is a member of the Investment Association and operates under MiFID business frameworks, serving only professional clients and eligible counterparties as defined by the FCA — explicitly excluding retail or individual investors. Its fiduciary obligations span both the UK Financial Conduct Authority and the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

GIM operates as a core affiliate of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (AMG), a publicly traded multi-boutique asset management holding company, which provides institutional distribution reach while GIM retains operational autonomy. The product surface is intentionally narrow: a single core capability of active EM equity portfolio management, distributed through direct institutional sales targeting pension funds, endowments, foundations, sovereign wealth funds, and other professional allocators. The firm publishes MIFIDPRU 8 disclosures, a Modern Slavery Statement, a Conflicts of Interest Policy, and Best Execution disclosures consistent with its regulated status.

The business model is a classic institutional asset management fee structure: asset-based management fees and potentially performance fees (carried interest) negotiated bilaterally with each institutional client. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. GIM generates revenue solely from these recurring investment management services on emerging market equity mandates. There is no disclosed technology platform, no API, no proprietary software product, no mobile app, and no disclosed AI/ML capability; the technology footprint is limited to a WordPress-based corporate website (giml.co.uk) with standard functional and performance cookies.
