Mission


Stanhope Capital was originally formed around a group of prominent European families seeking to manage, protect and increase their wealth in an independent and proactive manner. Although the firm has grown to become one of the largest private investment offices in Europe serving families, charities and endowments, its identity remains based on the powerful combination of its three original constituents:

Management team - experienced, close-knit group headquartered in London. Highly skilled in asset allocation, risk analysis, manager selection and merchant banking, offering a depth of expertise generally reserved to institutional clients.

Founding families - prominent industrial families and wealthy entrepreneurs from several European countries, representing inherited and first generation wealth across diverse business sectors.

Bessemer Trust - One of the largest privately-owned US independent wealth management firms with $53 billion under supervision, jointly owned by the Phipps family and management. Created in 1907, Bessemer offers outstanding expertise in various asset classes and best practice in wealth management worldwide. Read more


Focus

Alignment of interest
The assets of the founding families, clients and management are managed side by side. We also give you objective advice and we are not tied to in-house products. Our founding families, who have a representative on our board, have a vested interest in making sure we do the right thing.

Expertise 
Our investment team is dedicated to asset allocation, risk analysis and manager selection and has a proven track record. As a client you get a team of leading professionals bringing you the best intelligence and access in the industry.

Integration
Because we are independent we are best placed to advise you on the total picture. This includes providing an integrated service to our clients in matters connected with wealth management, such as estate planning and tax strategy, where we coordinate a network of top-level outside advisors.

Single minded
Our cornerstone principles always remain clear - to protect and increase your wealth.
