Clifton Asset Management

Developing and implementing innovative financial services, products and technologies.

About Us

Clifton Asset Management Ltd has, from the company’s formation, been seen as an innovator in financial services.

After developing a commercial application for a little understood pension methodology, the executive team realised that the poor customer journey caused by using 3rd party providers could stifle growth.

This has ingrained the philosophy of innovation into the core of the business process.

The business ethos being, “if something doesn’t work, let’s innovate around this and see if our solution is more efficient and gives the customer a better outcome”.

Over the last 10 years, the focus has been on delivering technology solutions wherever possible.

Clifton is probably unique among financial advisory firms in setting up a dedicated technology department, with the remit to design, build and implement digital applications to improve administrative efficiency and provide customers with best-in-class experiences.
