Henley Festival

Compound Equity Group

Compound Equity Group is a Henley based fund manager founded by Jonathan Knowles in August 2024. Our offices are at The Old Brewery, a short stroll away from Henley Festival, making us perfectly placed to act as Sponsors for this incredible event.

Jonathan has a career as an investor spanning over three decades and has delivered robust long-term returns over a period that encompassed both the pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis, managing around $50bn across five flagship global and international funds.

Compound Equity Group takes a long-term view, using the power of compounding and a relentless deep dive approach to whittling down a long list of 200 global companies to a concentrated holding of around 25 stocks.

Our mission is to gradually grow our funds from an acorns into oaks.

We think of the funds we work with as akin to a global family office; global because we search the world for outstanding companies and family because we invest a substantial proportion of our personal assets in the funds for the benefit of philanthropy and future generations.

Our team is small group of highly experienced investors, currently managing around $560m across two funds, one for UK investors and one for European investors. The firm is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Our approach is focused, concentrated, patient and benchmark agnostic. We are devoid of bureaucracy, ultra focused and economically aligned to identify the world’s best companies.

Compound Equity Group is delighted be sponsoring the Henley Festival 2026.
