Our company

The Long Barn HRC

Evenlode’s employee-owned, multi-generational structure provides long-term stability for both its clients and the team.

Evenlode became employee-owned in 2013 when it was part of Wise Investment, an independent wealth management and advisory firm established in 1992. Evenlode remained part of the Wise Investment and Wise Funds group of companies for several years under a Partnership structure, but in 2021 the Partnership demerged, creating three employee-owned, independent companies.

Evenlode is now wholly owned by its employees via an Employee Ownership Trust. The Trust appoints a Board of Directors to run the company in the best interests of its employees.

Introducing Evenlode

Evenlode began in October 2009, when Hugh Yarrow and Ben Peters launched the Evenlode Income fund. Over the years, the company has steadily grown and invested incrementally in its people, systems, and processes. The company launched the Global Income strategy in November 2017 and the Global Equity strategy in July 2020.

Here, Hugh Yarrow introduces the long-term approach that Evenlode applies to investing, building the company and the teams, and developing client relationships.
