About Us

Liberum Capital was founded on 1st November 2006, authorized on 5th June 2007 and commenced trading on 10th September 2007

Our name is taken from Latin and means independence. Independence will always be at the heart of everything we do, from thinking to advising to execution and research. We are truly independent with the business being owned 100% by staff. We continually strive to provide innovative solutions as well as always looking to do the right thing.

Our philosophy

  • We need to add value to be of value.
  • We believe that both corporate clients and institutional investors deserve a far higher level of service than is currently being offered in the market place.
  • We are determined to earn a reputation for independence, integrity and excellence.
  • We value our people and we endeavour to hire and retain people of the highest quality.
  • We enforce a very high quality threshold across all aspects of our business.
  • We will always ensure that we are structurally and operationally sound and will not partake in false economies.

Our approach

We adopt a simple approach to all areas of our business. Without our clients we could not exist. Therefore our primary focus is to add value to our clients at every opportunity.

We recognise that Liberum Capital is a people business and so we endeavour to hire and retain people of the highest quality.

We have over 145 highly talented people. Our culture is one of shared and collective responsibility. One way we achieve this is by being 100% staff owned.

Despite our short corporate history we collectively have many years of experience and have already built a track record of delivering high quality products and advice which has led to profitable growth.

We have a simple operating structure that allows us to react quickly and handle situations with a team approach.
