ABOUT
Shard Capital is a leading wealth manager offering investment, dealing, and capital market services to private, corporate and institutional clients.
Founded in 2010 as an institutional fixed income broker, we have evolved into an organisation with over 90 professionals, and whilst we are an established business, we still maintain an entrepreneurial mentality in our approach.
Private Client Investment Management lies at the heart of what we do. It is driven not only by forging lasting bonds with our clients, but also a network of professional partners. In both cases, those relationships are built on mutual trust and a desire to add value in as many ways as we can. A human business, with an aim to excel and a focus on service, not size.
THE SHARD CAPITAL DIFFERENCE
The diverse nature of Shard Capital’s business is one of its main assets and core strengths. Whilst it is unlikely our clients have interests in all our areas of expertise, it is routine for them to experience the benefits of that diversity first-hand.
This wealth of experience provides us our “edge”. Our ability to take the temperature of the investment universe more frequently and from more vantage points. An “edge” which other wealth managers don’t have. And because the firm is independently owned, it is completely agnostic when it comes to investment outlook and fund selection, meaning it can focus purely on client satisfaction rather than shareholder returns.

Judges often have to steel themselves to make tough decisions. In one such case, the High Court reluctantly concluded that a motorist was distracted by her mobile phone and bore at least partial responsibility for a collision with a freight train in which a child suffered catastrophic injuries.
The motorist was travelling amidst wintry conditions at night when a risky overtaking manoeuvre by an oncoming driver – who was never traced – caused a clash of wing mirrors in front of her so that debris scattered onto the road. She reacted by driving across the opposite carriageway through a gap in a line of traffic, onward through a fence and finally onto a railway line where her car collided with the train.
The child, who was in the back of her car, was gravely injured and a compensation claim was launched on his behalf against the motorist. She denied that she was negligent, asserting that she was faced with a sudden emergency in the road ahead of her and had acted in the agony of the moment.
However, without any enthusiasm, the Court ruled that the accident was, at least in part, the motorist’s fault. It found that she was not paying adequate attention to the road ahead of her in the moments prior to the incident. In crossing over the opposite carriageway, she made a deliberate but disastrously wrong decision.
The Court concluded that the likeliest explanation for her distraction was that, at the critical moment, she was using or about to use her mobile phone. A reasonably careful driver would and should have seen and reacted to the events unfolding before her in such a way as to avoid any collision or loss of control. If not agreed, the amount of the child’s compensation would be assessed at a further hearing.
