New Star is a young investment management company, passionate about offering investors outstanding returns. We employ only the very best financial services professionals, those with consistent track records who have already made their name as star fund managers. New Star is led by John Duffield, who founded Jupiter Asset Management and made it one of the most successful retail investment businesses in the UK. Founded in June 2000, New Star has rapidly gained a reputation as one of the best performing investment companies in the country.
Our fund management style - freedom to perform
Our fund managers operate without the corporate baggage carried by so many of our competitors.
We believe that star managers do not want to be told what companies to invest in and have buy-lists forced onto them. They do not like following an index benchmark, a herd-like approach to investing that compels them to hold shares in which they do not believe. That might suit inexperienced managers, but proven fund managers should have freedom to back their own judgement.
At New Star we created a culture where fund managers are encouraged to be independently minded in their investment decision making. Their main reason for holding a security is an absolute conviction that it will do well and they take personal responsibility for each investment they make. Yet they operate within a framework that goes beyond merely satisfying regulatory requirements. Control systems within New Star are central to our rigorous monitoring and compliance regime.
To achieve our goals we select and retain only the best investment professionals. We believe that we have already assembled a team of outstanding individuals who can be relied upon to deliver the performance we expect.
