Our History

Gryphon was established in 2014 as an independent specialist asset manager focussed on the secured credit asset class when the team spun out from their former employer (Gryphon continues to manage assets on their behalf).

Gryphon was set up to be the most advanced investor in our asset class with a philosophy built around the use of extensive data to drive investment decisions, and to provide transparency to our clients. As a business we decided to invest heavily in our proprietary data systems and data collection processes to make sure we are in possession of (and actively using) more data than any of our competitors or counterparties. We believe this is a critical component of successful investing in secured credit and selecting only those investments with truly strong capital preservation characteristics. We have also invested in growing our quantitative team over time to develop and secure our data capabilities.

The evolution of Assets Under Management (AUM) has followed our client base which has developed from insurance companies to superannuation funds and most recently the listed investment trust GCI, launched in 2018. Core to this has been providing income where capital preservation is the primary investment objective. Capital preservation is ingrained in everything we do as part of our investment processes.
