Investment Committee
There are over 5,500 funds available to private investors in the UK. Choice is good, but too much choice can be overwhelming, even paralysing. Not to mention incredibly time consuming.
That is why we have whittled thousands of funds down to what we believe are the best-in-class. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned investor, there is something for everyone.
Purpose and members
In building TILLIT's investment Universe we went back to first principles. The purpose of the Investment Committee is to provide governance, support, challenge and transparency to the fund selection process and to ensure we stay true to our investment beliefs. The committee meets regularly to discuss updates and news related to the funds in the Universe, as well as to explore and debate new ideas.
