We are delighted to share that James Tuson, Chief Investment Officer, and Will Redmond, Assistant Investment Manager, have both been named in the Citywire Wealth Manager Top 100 for 2026.
The annual Top 100 highlights leading investment professionals from across the UK wealth management industry and provides independent recognition of individuals who have made a significant contribution to investment research, fund selection and portfolio management.
While this recognition relates to the work undertaken by the investment team within HFMC Asset Management, it is also highly relevant to HFMC Wealth clients.
James and Will are not only responsible for the discretionary model portfolios managed by HFMC Asset Management. They also play a central role in the research, construction and ongoing oversight of the investment portfolios used throughout the HFMC Wealth proposition. The advisory portfolios recommended to many HFMC Wealth clients are built using the same investment philosophy, research framework and portfolio construction principles that underpin the discretionary portfolios.
As a result, the expertise being recognised by Citywire benefits clients across both businesses.
Behind every portfolio sits a disciplined and repeatable investment process. This includes extensive fund research, regular engagement with fund managers, detailed portfolio analysis and a strong culture of challenge and debate within the investment team. Individual investment ideas are rigorously tested before becoming part of a client portfolio.
Importantly, the quality of an investment proposition is measured over years rather than months. Successful investing requires consistency through changing market conditions, a willingness to remain focused on long-term objectives and the discipline to avoid unnecessary reactions to short-term market events.
The inclusion of both James and Will in the Citywire Wealth Manager Top 100 is therefore a welcome acknowledgement of the talent, professionalism and dedication that underpin the investment solutions available to our clients.
We extend our congratulations to James, Will and the wider investment team for this well-deserved recognition.
