Who we are
Tim Stubbs, CFA - Principal
Tim founded Valencia Asymmetric so he could continue operating within City of London and UK Wealth Management circles from his home in Spain. The proprietary screening tools that form the backbone of Valencia Asymmetric are Tim's response to what he felt were meaningful blind spots within the portfolio management industry.
Background and credentials
Education: BSc (Hons) in Banking & International Finance, Cass Business School, First-Class Honours.
Professional: A CFA charterholder with over 20 years' industry experience, he was previously Investment Manager for Fiducia Wealth Management, an award-winning DFM Wealth Manager in the South East of England. Earlier in his career, he also held roles at the Bank of England, a family office, as well as in the European Equities team of a leading Sovereign Wealth fund.
Entrepreneurship: Launched his investment consultancy firm in 2017 and built Valencia Asymmetric to deliver independent, evidence-led insight to UK-based Wealth Managers, DFMs and Asset Managers.
Approach and reputation
Tim combines rigorous quantitative screening with sharp, experience‑based judgement. He is known for a friendly, straight‑talking style and for distilling complex analysis into clear, actionable guidance. Clients value him as an independent partner who helps them see funds and portfolios more clearly.
Personal
Tim is a relentless problem‑solver who enjoys deep analysis and the clarity it brings clients. He lives in Spain with his family and three children, who never fail to keep him busy outside of work. He also enjoys running, health and fitness and watching every Spurs game he can. Valencia Asymmetric is Tim’s way of uniting the rewards of a fulfilling career - rich client relationships and purposeful work - with a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
