About us

Ranmore Fund Management is passionate about generating real returns for investors.

If you look under the bonnet of many global equity funds, they hold many of the same, large household name stocks, just in slightly different proportions.

Our picks give you something different. We do the work to unearth often small and mid-cap companies which we think offer tremendous value.

Our money’s invested alongside yours.

We won’t charge performance fees.
