Our story

Visionary Gains is a leading private equity and property manager, with around 100 executives based across our UK office network. We partner with ambitious, entrepreneurial management teams to accelerate growth, and serve thousands of investors with the goal of delivering exceptional returns.

Who we are

Visionary Gains was formed in 2009 following a management buyout of the private equity business of Aberdeen Asset Management PLC. The senior team who led the transaction have worked together since 2004 and have transformed Visionary Gains into one of the UK’s most active SME investors, helping hundreds of management teams to achieve their business ambitions.

We now have a presence across all regions of the UK, with a team that is recognised as having a collaborative and respectful culture, in supporting the growth of a wide range of public and private companies.

In 2021 Visionary Gains was acquired by Mattioli Woods PLC, a leading provider of specialist wealth management and financial planning services. This partnership continues our ethos of supporting ambition, working with like-minded people who share the same passion and enthusiasm for delivering exceptional client outcomes.
