Our clients

The team at fVenn brings undoubted knowledge and expertise in fund distribution across global markets. They understand what fund buyers want and equally what they don’t. They are technical, creative and decisive – providing clear advice backed by both research and experience. We hired them to help us better position our fund range as we became an independent firm and found them to be fantastic partners, expertly delivering on their brief.

fVenn were fantastic to work with. They get distribution and marketing at a granular level and provided unparalleled insight into senior client perceptions of our offering. Extraordinarily well connected; they’ve seen it, done it and got the t-shirt.

I have been involved in a number of research projects conducted by Rob and Neil over the years and their attention to detail and insights are second to none.

fVenn provided tremendous support and counsel on our recent merger restructuring and rebrand. Coming from our side of the fence, they have tremendous empathy with the challenges of a marketing function within an asset management business.

Working with Neil was a seamless and professional process. His experience was evident in the way he approached the structure and messaging of a shorter presentation. I appreciated his collaborative approach and the ease of communication throughout the process.

Gaining deep, honest, meaningful insights from senior buy-side decision-makers is really hard but, for an asset manager, it’s critical. fVenn’s unparalleled ability to access that community at the highest levels gives us the in-market feedback we really need – it’s proved to be immeasurably valuable.

I have known Rob for over 25 years. He has a huge breadth of knowledge acquired over his long career as a senior marketeer for a number of high profile companies. I highly value his insights and his recommendations.

I’ve worked with Rob at three different asset managers, ranging from boutique to global businesses. He is a highly creative marketeer, a great partner to distribution and is very well-connected on the client side. He is able to provide a unique insight into what clients want and how best to reach them.

After a decade of using the same deck, Neil has helped create a presentation that has gone down tremendously well with our sales teams. Why? Because it is more confident in the use of the fund’s history and performance, and is much clearer on how our product is different to our peers. It has given Clive (Beagles) and me greater confidence in presenting our fund, leading to some very good recent meetings.

Rob’s experience and unique ability to understand the key messaging for any situation (or budget) has really helped successfully propel a number of businesses I have been involved with across my career.

I know the fVenn team well. Rob and I have worked together at a number of investment firms and, when I first met him, was immediately impressed with his passion for the industry and his desire to do the best possible job for clients. We have always had a great working relationship including the very difficult but successful rebrand of Janus Henderson. It was through these collaborations I met Neil and found he was the perfect yin to Rob’s yang, complementing each other well. Together, they combine innovative thinking on marketing strategy with excellent technical knowledge, a deep understanding of the industry’s dynamics and an extensive influencer network. It’s an amalgam of attributes I’ve not found elsewhere within the consulting/agency community.

I first met Rob at Henderson and was immediately struck by his pragmatic approach to marketing and client engagement and his deep understanding of investment management.

Neil and Rob are rare – two asset management marketeers that regularly talk to advisers and selectors. As a result, they really understand our needs.
