Our History
The Hanson family founded Hanson Asset Management’s predecessor entity as a family office before the term became common parlance, with a mandate that embraced the management of liquid and alternative investments with a capital preservation bias including real estate and general advisory services.
In 2010, Hanson Asset Management was created to formalise the management and oversight of Hanson Family assets under an FCA regulated entity. We began to formally act for families and individuals that were in effect members of the extended Hanson Family, but it was not until 2012 that we began to act for third party clients., However, our mantra remains unchanged: our clients are true partners who receive the same level of attention and service commitment as the founding family and rank pari-passu in every respect.
