Parmenion Profile: What is Parmenion?

Parmenion, established in 2007, is a UK-based investment platform and discretionary fund manager (DFM) that collaborates with financial advisers to develop tailored investment propositions for clients.

If you are looking to invest as an expat or high-net-worth individual, which is what I specialize in, you can email me (advice@adamfayed.com) or WhatsApp (+44-7393-450-837).

Some of the facts might change from the time of writing. For updated guidance, please contact me.

The firm manages approximately £9 billion in assets, serving around 70,000 end clients through partnerships with 1,500 adviser firms.

What is Parmenion?

Parmenion offers a diverse selection of investment options and multi-asset portfolios, encompassing active, passive, tactical, and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investment strategies.

The platform is built in-house, allowing for seamless integration and adaptability to meet the evolving needs of financial advisors and their clients.

This proprietary technology supports a range of investment solutions, including Parmenion’s in-house DFM services, adviser-managed portfolios, and third-party DFM options.

In 2021, Parmenion underwent a change in ownership when it was acquired by Preservation Capital Partners and AssetCo, with AssetCo holding a 30% stake.

This transition has enabled it to expand its services and explore new areas of growth, such as advised model portfolios and post-retirement market solutions.
