Wimmer Family Office/Wimmer Financial

What Wimmer Family Office/Wimmer Financial does

Wimmer Family Office Ltd is a London-based, FCA-authorised single-family office founded in 2011 by Per Wimmer, a Danish financier with prior senior roles at Goldman Sachs, Collins Stewart, and MAN Group. The firm manages wealth for a single family under a wealth-protection mandate, deploying a proprietary ETF trading strategy with a trend-following (CTA hedge fund) overlay alongside selective allocations to absolute-return hedge funds, quant/CTA strategies, real estate (equity and debt development financing), and later-stage private equity (Series C and beyond). Allocations are governed by strict due-diligence criteria, including minimum 3–5 year track records and a maximum three-month lock-up provision, and the firm is the gatekeeper for any external fund managers seeking capital, processing submissions via a direct email inquiry channel ([email protected]). Distribution is direct-to-principal, with no public fee schedule and no disclosed AUM.

The firm operates as a UK limited liability company (reg. no. 7931194, VAT no. 204 2568 35, FCA reference 665654) from Cording House, 1st Floor, 34 St James's Street, London SW1A 1HD in Mayfair, with a stated operating footprint across the United Kingdom and United States. Beyond its core investment mandate, the firm has built a small ecosystem of personal-brand assets: the WimmerSpace sub-brand for adventure, documentary film and philanthropy (including productions such as 'Elon Musk: The Real Iron Man' and 'Wimmer Over Everest'), and a portfolio of founder-authored books on financial markets, green energy and autobiography, of which 'The Sky Is No Limit' won the 2024 Business Book Awards 'Book of the Year' across three published languages. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the firm has no external funding, parent company, or subsidiaries.

Broad incumbents

• Coutts: UK private bank and wealth manager serving ultra-high-net-worth families with multi-asset advisory mandates. Comparable target market and Mayfair-rooted UK wealth-management positioning.
• Brewin Dolphin: UK wealth manager providing discretionary portfolio management and alternative-investment exposure to HNW clients. Comparable in client profile and multi-asset mandate construction.
• MAN Group: Large UK-listed alternative investment manager with deep CTA/quant capability and prior employer of Per Wimmer. Comparable as a CTA/absolute-return allocator at much larger scale than WFO's proprietary ETF trend-following overlay.
• Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management: Successor to Collins Stewart (Per Wimmer's prior employer), offering UK wealth management and corporate advisory to HNW families. Comparable advisory heritage and target segment.
• SG Kleinwort Hambros: UK private bank serving HNW/UHNW families with discretionary portfolio management and alternative-investment access. Comparable client segment and discretionary wealth-management offering.

Direct peers

• Ruffer LLP: London-based absolute-return investment manager focused on wealth preservation across market regimes. Directly comparable investment philosophy to WFO's wealth-protection mandate and trend-following element.
• Aspect Capital: UK-based systematic/CTA manager specialising in trend-following and absolute-return strategies. Closely aligned with WFO's proprietary trend-following overlay and absolute-return hedge fund allocation thesis.
• Winton Group: London-based systematic/CTA manager running trend-following strategies across global futures and ETF-equivalent instruments. Directly comparable on the trend-following/CTA core of WFO's offering.
• Stonehage Fleming: Leading UK/European multi-family office serving UHNW families with diversified alternative-investment mandates including hedge funds, real estate, and private equity — the same asset-class breadth WFO targets.

Regional players

• Generation Investment Management: London-based sustainable investment manager with an explicit long-term, ESG-aligned philosophy that mirrors WFO's stated environmental-consciousness differentiator and absolute-return orientation.
