About Us
A MOVE TO A NEW DIRECTION
Pacific Asset Management (PAM) is a fresh and progressive asset manager, rethinking the conventions of how asset management works for advisers, institutions, investors, asset owners and the industry.
We are responsible for over £8.0 billion* of assets for our clients.
As a privately owned business, unencumbered by legacy, we can rethink the conventions of asset management and move forward, making it better for all.
With a fresh start we’ve been able to create a more innovative and progressive model, moving the asset management model of today into one more relevant for the needs of tomorrow.
We continue to push the boundaries of technology, operational and investment research, to provide better solutions for our partners and clients.
We never stand still. We move Asset Management forward.

FROM OUR CEO
At Pacific Asset Management, we believe in the power of progress and evolution.
Without legacy to constrain our ambition, we chose to move the asset management model of today into one more relevant for the needs of tomorrow.
In the process, we’ve been able to create more innovative solutions for our clients and partners.
– Matthew Lamb, Chief Executive Officer

Why we started
We aimed to pioneer a more progressive and innovative model for the right reasons. To reimagine, rethink, re-engineer and innovate.
Bringing more pioneering and challenging personality to our culture, focusing on delivering a better way to do things, not merely following the conventions and behaving with originality.

Our Philosophy:
MOVE FORWARD
Move forward is a single organising thought around which we build everything for our clients, our business, our culture, our approach to innovation and the way we choose to invest.
For decades the asset management model has remained unbroken yet constrained by convention. We chose a different path.
Move forward helps us to differentiate ourselves from our peers and the conventions of asset management and has been built upon the premise that we have evolved, progressed and innovated a different approach to a model where change is long overdue.
More than that. It’s an invitation to our clients and partners in joining us to Move Forward, make things better, to be in the present and looking to the future – a future where there is a better, smarter alternative.
Pacific is unbound by conventions, extreme investment bureaucracy but guided by our strong investment principles, we are able to jump when giants can’t.
Our robust investment research is constant and unwavering, using the power of our human capital combined with progressive technologies, we are uniquely poised to create funds and solutions designed around client and markets needs, quickly.

What make us different
A progressive model
When many business started out as either asset management business or tech businesses, we intentionally chose a more progressive model, starting out with both. Why? Efficiencies and effectiveness, for us and our clients.
Power behind the adviser
‘Intel’ – White label solutions, additional services, support and information. Empowering advisers to create their own solutions. Where there’s a gulf between Asset Managers and the adviser and their client, we bridge the gap.
Ahead of the game
We stay ahead of the game, unencumbered by legacy systems or corporate pressure. Our Single Manager Solutions can look beyond the current flavour of the month to the next decade and beyond.
