About Fountainhead Partnerships Fund
Our Investment Management Philosophy
Our History
Charting Our Growth.
Fountainhead Partnerships Fund was founded by Asif Ali, who began deploying its strategy in 2015, focused on high-quality companies benefiting from long-term secular growth. The Fountainhead Partnerships Fund was launched in 2018 and has since attracted accredited investors from different parts of the world. Paul Sherriff joined as Portfolio Manger the same year. In 2024, Conduit Asset Management (CAM) was appointed as the Investment Manager to strengthen institutional reach. Asif Ali and Paul Sherriff, in partnership with the original shareholders, have provided continuity.
Our Values

Curiosity and Passion, Pursuit of Excellence and Integrity drive everything that we do.

Investment philosophy
Long Term Investing and Effective Investment Management
Fountainhead Partnerships Funds investment philosophy is based on three pillars
Quality
We seek businesses with enduring competitive advantages, resilient operations, and superior financial strength. Companies must demonstrate leadership, strong sustainable margins, and the ability to deliver performance across the different business cycles, ensuring durability and long-term value creation.
Growth
Our focus is on businesses positioned to benefit from secular trends and scalable opportunities. We target resilient, often-overlooked companies early in their growth journey or at inflection points, allowing capital to compound sustainably over time.
Valuation
We invest only when businesses can be acquired below intrinsic value, with a meaningful margin of safety. This disciplined approach ensures capital preservation while positioning portfolios for compelling, risk-adjusted returns across the different market cycles.
