Join us for a Journey through Time
​​​
20/80 LIMITED was set up in 2017 by Martyn Ingram, who had already worked in the financial services industry for 40 years. For much of that time he managed investment portfolios that invested predominantly through collective investment funds, but he also worked as a fund analyst, undertaking detailed research that was widely distributed to professionals working for regulated businesses. For a number of years he also regularly wrote articles that were published in the trade press and, from time to time, he used his expertise to serve as a judge on award panels.​
​
For several decades, Martyn has invested energy in developing relationships that enable him to engage with financial services trade bodies and associations. He then went on to develop relationships with trade bodies and associations that are outside the direct reach of the financial services sector. He has ongoing access to these combined resources, which enables him to maintain strong connections with specialists in a wide variety of industries and fields.
(Martyn began working in financial services at the age of 17 in 1976. For more than 8 years, he has not engaged in financial service activities that require him to be authorised or registered on the Financial Services Register.) ​
Fast forward to 2025​
Through his connections, both old and new in the private and public sectors, Martyn has fashioned 20/80 LIMITED in a way that engages in four main areas of business, namely: (1) financial services, (2) hospitality and leisure, (3) sport and associations, and (4) technology and media.​
It is clear that 2025 is going to be a game-changing year for those able to embrace some of the many opportunities that recent technological advancements are beginning to allow. Join us for the next stage of our journey through time.
​​​​
Martyn strongly supports both freedom of choice and appropriate regulation.
​
In the financial services sector, for example, he believes that more needs to be done to encourage investors to be able to make informed decisions. In particular, he believes that there is a need for improved access to high-quality information and education.
Regulated people have to give regulated views that use regulated words.
​
For those not seeking advice, recommendations or guidance, knowledge building is possible, but not necessarily through regulated channels. Some regulated people (with extensive knowledge) are unable to engage with the public at large in a meaningful way. We are on a mission to change that over time so that access to better education can lead to informed, rather than scripted, individual decision-making.
