Independent Wealth Management · London
Clarmond is an independent wealth manager and research house, serving a select number of individuals, families and institutions since 2010.
Who We Are
We are not a large institution. We are a small, committed team of investment professionals who believe that genuine personalisation , knowing each client's full picture, leads to better outcomes over the long term.
As an independent firm we have no house funds, no product quotas, and no institutional conflicts. Our advice is guided only by your best interests and our own research.
We take a generational view of capital. Protecting and growing wealth across decades , not quarters, is the framework within which every allocation decision is made.
Our partners bring decades of experience across London, New York, emerging markets and international family offices, a breadth of insight that informs every portfolio.
Clarmond was established in 2010 by Christopher Andrew. The firm grew from a belief that high-net-worth individuals deserved the quality of advice reserved for institutional clients , delivered with the attentiveness of a trusted private advisor.
Our client base consists of Professional clients as defined by the Financial Conduct Authority: individuals, families, and institutions who benefit from direct access to our partners and from research that is genuinely proprietary.
Arrange a ConversationWhat We Do

The structure of a family office without the overhead , Clarmond becomes the trusted hub, coordinating advisors, banks and investment managers on your behalf.

Clarmond's research framework is not commentary : it is a structured, repeatable process that generates actionable signals across the main asset classes. It is the backbone of how we allocate capital and how we advise research subscribers on their own portfolios.
The framework can be used as a standalone macro overlay, as the primary driver of a managed account, or as a reference framework for institutions seeking an independent second opinion on asset allocation.
