Ruffer is hands down the worst place to work at. - Anonymous employee Ruffer Employee Review

Male, pale and stale. A miserable lot who trundle into work every day to sit around and chortle at other teams and those unlike them. Management have their favourites. You will not get promoted unless you fit their 'vision'. There is no legitimate hierarchy or trajectory for hard workers. This is a small, privately owned asset manager who do whatever they want, at the expense of those that work for them. Front office is basically all White. Back office still mainly White. Go on their website to look at 'Who's Who' for evidence of the above. They promote the most monstruous, slimey, self-serving people. DO NOT WORK HERE unless you want to be surrounded by sycophantic, opera-loving, passée, ex-aristocratic people who are desperately trying to cling onto their long-gone ancestral aristocratic status and are now clutching at a new world without colonial straws. Also - their performance evidences all of the above. Factsheets are warped by picking and choosing benchmarks to suit them. The reality of their performance vs. peers and the market speaks for itself. One "good" year in 5 years; and that "good" year only made a positive return of 7ish percent. You can't blame that on the pandemic forever, sweetie.
