Stars
By 2025 Seven Investment Management (7IM) sits in Caledonia Investments’ BCG Matrix as a Star: UK wealth management consolidation drove platform AUM growth to ~£20bn for 7IM, giving it high market share in retail platforms and sustained double-digit revenue growth (2023–25 CAGR ~12%). Continued tech investment is required to protect its scale advantage and support Private Capital’s capital-appreciation role amid rising demand for integrated advice.
Stonehage Fleming Wealth Management is a Star for Caledonia, holding a leading international multi-family office position and an estimated 12–15% share of the global ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) family office segment as of 2025.
The bespoke family office market grew ~8–10% CAGR 2020–2025 as cross-border wealth and multi-jurisdictional planning rose, expanding addressable demand for its services.
Expanding offices across Europe, US and South Africa consumes capital but secures client acquisition; Stonehage Fleming reported ~£25–30bn AUM in 2024, keeping it at the industry forefront.
Caledonia’s allocation to market leaders Microsoft (MSFT) and Oracle (ORCL) sits in the BCG Matrix as high-growth, high-share Stars, driving aggressive growth within the Quoted Equity pool.
Microsoft and Oracle dominate software and cloud segments that grew ~17% and ~12% respectively in 2025, keeping Caledonia’s valuation competitive vs. MSCI World Tech benchmarks.
These holdings are liquid and designed to mirror broad tech sector upside while anchoring portfolio growth and benchmark-relative performance.

Cash Cows
