HFMC Asset Management is proud to share that James Tuson, Chief Investment Officer at HFMC Wealth, has been named in Investment Week’s Leaders List 2026, an industry accolade that recognises the contribution of senior fund selection and investment research leaders, in association with Artemis.

The Leaders List celebrates individuals holding senior UK roles in fund selection and research who are making a meaningful impact on investment outcomes, governance and the evolution of the investment profession. Importantly, the list is not ranked; inclusion reflects peer recognised leadership and influence during a period of significant change across markets and regulation.

Investment leadership that matters to clients

As Chief Investment Officer of HFMC Asset Management, James is responsible for our investment management proposition and chairs our Investment Committee, overseeing investment governance and portfolio construction across client mandates. His inclusion in the Leaders List reflects the depth of experience and judgement required to lead investment decision making through complex and often volatile market conditions.

For our clients and those of HFMC Wealth, this type of leadership is particularly important. Robust fund selection, disciplined portfolio construction and strong governance are critical in delivering prudent, risk adjusted returns that remain aligned to clearly defined investment mandates. While markets inevitably fluctuate, experienced investment oversight helps ensure portfolios remain focused on long term objectives rather than short term noise.

Supporting consistent, mandate led outcomes

At HFMC Asset Management, investment strategy is designed to support client outcomes by combining risk awareness, diversification and ongoing review within a clear governance framework. James’s role as CIO and investment committee chair places him at the centre of this process, helping ensure portfolios are constructed and managed in a way that seeks to meet – and, where possible, exceed – the performance objectives set for clients, without losing sight of risk.

Recognition by Investment Week reinforces the importance of experienced fund selection leadership in delivering investment propositions that clients can rely on through different market cycles.
