UK Investor Group

What UK Investor Group does

UK Investor Group Ltd is a London-based, privately held financial communications and investor relations company founded in 2015 by Jonathan Roy. The firm connects UK-listed companies, investment trusts, and funds with a community of 500K+ investors through an integrated platform combining digital media, curated investor events, and strategic investor relations services. Its disclosed customers span asset management (Jupiter, Polar Capital, Aberdeen, Aubrey), investment trusts (Temple Bar, HarbourVest, Neuberger Berman, Vietnam Holding, EJF), mining (Cornish Metals), insurance (Adsure), and consumer retail (Majestic Wine).

The company's core technology is an AI-powered investor connection platform branded as "AI Native Portals," featuring an AI Assistant that processes natural-language queries against company fundamentals and news releases. Content distribution spans 12 media channels, including the UK Investor Magazine, video (200+ videos per year including CEO interviews and company showcases), weekly investment podcasts, LinkedIn and X amplification, and event programming such as sector-specific conferences, private investor dinners, and the monthly Small Cap Discovery Day virtual summit series. The platform reports 85% high-net-worth audience composition and 50K+ cumulative event attendees.

UK Investor Group's business model blends professional services with emerging subscription revenue. The bulk of monetization comes from three fee-for-service streams — digital media production, investor events and conferences, and strategic IR services (shareholder communications, financial PR, earnings call preparation, roadshow coordination). A fourth stream, AI Platform Access, introduces a recurring/subscription component for the AI Assistant for Investors. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the firm targets enterprise buyers (listed companies and funds) through direct sales and event-driven engagement, and operates with a small team of 1-10 employees. No revenue, funding, or parent-company relationships are disclosed in available source material.
