Rich List Member and Master Investor Jim Mellon Takes Stake in Titan Investment Partners
Titan Investment Partners (‘Titan’ or ‘the Company’), the innovative new fund managers that
uniquely use the mechanism of a spread betting or CFD account to house their trades is pleased to
announce that Rich List member and experienced successful investor Jim Mellon has recently taken
a significant minority stake in the Company.
Coming on top of a fantastic set of one year and year-to-date returns in two of Titan’s three funds,
where they significantly exceeded their benchmarks, this investment provides a platform for the
Company to continue to grow both the Board and sales structure to bring Titan’s offering to the
attention of the wider retail market.
Jim Mellon was formerly a fund manager at Regent Pacific and holds significant stakes in established
fund management companies Charlemagne Capital and MannBio – the latter being biotechnology
specialists. Jim’s wealth is listed at over £800m by the Sunday Times annual Rich List.
Richard Jennings, Fund Manager and founder of Titan, said: “To have such a successful and
experienced investor as Jim take a stake in our company is a real boost to us. Jim immediately
grasped the essence of what we are doing - that is, not only bringing real hedge fund management
to within the wider investing public’s investment grasp, but also marrying that with the tax free
benefits of a spread betting account – a unique and compelling proposition we believe.
“We are very proud to welcome Jim to our shareholder register and look forward to further growth in
the Company and funds under management as the year progresses.”
Jim Mellon added: “I am delighted to be a shareholder in this innovative fund management
initiative. Richard and his team have delivered extraordinary returns so far and I firmly believe will
continue to do so. What’s more their interests are aligned fully with those of fund subscribers.”

About Titan Investment Partners
Titan is an FCA regulated and authorised fund management business that uniquely utilises a spread
betting account in producing totally tax free returns. It operates a typical hedge fund model of
long/short trading with leverage access and charges a 20% performance fee, subject to a high
watermark, for absolute returns generated.
Clients benefit from the safeguards of the FSCS and in certain funds they enjoy non-recourse,
ensuring that they cannot lose more than their capital invested just like most conventional long only
funds.
Performance
The Company currently operates three funds within its stable, with all three beating their
benchmarks over the last year by a very wide margin. At the same time, these funds have been
leveraged on average over the period by only approximately two times. The three funds are a
precious metals fund, a natural resources offering and Titan’s flagship Global Macro fund, the
mandate for which is simply to seek out absolute returns globally – “…something very few managed
funds actually do, being merely closet index funds…” according to fund manager Richard Jennings.
