Christopher Saunders established the firm of Tutton and Saunders and built up the business into Savoy Asset Management, a quoted asset management company under the chairmanship of Right Honourable Kenneth Clarke, QC MP, former Chancellor of the Exchequer, managing £1.2 billion of funds and employing around 80 people.

Christopher has had a long and varied experience of investment matters and for many years was co-manager of the Hauteville Global and Balanced Fund which had an excellent long term record.

He started his career in 1995 with Fairmount Stockbrokers and subsequently Henry Cooke Lumsden in 1999 which became Brown Shipley, as a Senior Investment Manager managing portfolios for private clients, trusts and pension funds.
