Skerryvore Asset Management LLP

What Skerryvore Asset Management LLP does

Skerryvore Asset Management LLP is a UK-based, FCA-authorised (FRN:769109) and SEC-registered investment management firm specialising in emerging market equities through a long-term, stewardship-driven active management approach. The firm's product set centres on the Long-term Returns Emerging Market Managed Investment Fund, supplemented by an ICAV (Irish Collective Asset-Management Vehicle) fund structure that broadens accessibility for institutional investors. It serves professional clients as defined by the FCA — institutional and high-net-worth professional investors seeking emerging market equity exposure with integrated ESG and sustainability risk considerations.

The group was formed through the August 2024 acquisition of BennBridge Ltd by Skerryvore AM LLP, followed by a February 2025 rebrand of the acquired entity to Skerryvore Asset Management Ltd. The firm operates from Edinburgh and Cambridge in the UK and maintains regional reach across APAC, EMEA, and the Americas, with APAC distribution supported by its partnership with Bennelong (part of the BFM Group owned by Bangarra Group).

Revenue is generated through investment management fees charged to professional clients on a recurring, subscription-style basis. Pricing and contract terms are not publicly disclosed, consistent with the firm's bespoke institutional distribution model. No public revenue, AUM, or fee data are available. The firm employs between 11 and 50 people, positioning it as a boutique active manager in the emerging markets segment. Core technology is not publicly disclosed, and there is no evidence of proprietary AI/ML capabilities or platform architecture beyond conventional investment management infrastructure.
