Who We Are

An Introduction to Fundhouse

Fundhouse is an award-winning investment firm co-founded in South Africa in 2007 by Rory Maguire.

 

In 2010, Rory left South Africa to start Fundhouse UK, which has become a well-regarded provider of investment services to the wealth sector in the UK and Europe. 

 

From the outset, our mission has been clear: to deliver investment clarity through in-depth research, experienced expertise, and transparent communication.

 

Today, our expertise spans manager research and fund ratings, asset allocation, portfolio construction, ESG integration, liquidity tools and discretionary model portfolios.

 

We proudly support a wide range of clients, including wealth managers, financial advisers, pension funds, charities, life companies, family offices, banks, and investment platforms.

Our Founder: Rory Maguire

Rory relocated to the UK in 2010 to establish Fundhouse UK, becoming a pioneer in driving greater integrity within the investment industry. Under his leadership, Fundhouse rejects the practice of selling ratings back to fund managers – ensuring that all assessments remain fully independent, objective, and paid for solely by clients. 


We’re proud to deliver truly independent research – with manager ratings that reflect merit, whether positive or negative.


Rory remains unwavering in his commitment to improving outcomes for end investors, guided by a core belief:

“Our clients have worked hard for the money they entrust to us – and we have a responsibility to act in their best interests.”
