The PAM Awards are among the most respected accolades in the UK wealth management industry, celebrating excellence and consistency across the sector.

Saltus was nominated in the following categories:
- Investment Performance – Cautious Portfolios
- Investment Performance – Defensive Portfolios (Winner)

The Defensive Portfolios award recognises firms that have delivered the strongest risk‑adjusted total returns for clients over the past three years (0.4–0.6 relative risk to world equities), net of fees and before tax.

“We are pleased to have been shortlisted across every category and to have won the award for Defensive Portfolios. This is a direct reflection of the work of our investment team. Congratulations to David Cooke, Charles Ambler, and the wider team for their contribution.”
