Theleme Partners is a private investment partnership based in London.[1]
Thélème Partners LLP was founded in August 2009 by Patrick Degorce. Co-founders were Peter Davies, Stuart Roden and Rishi Sunak.[2]
Rishi Sunak connection
In 2009, Rishi Sunak co-founded Thélème Partners LLP. He worked at Thélème from 2009 until 2013 when he left to enter politics.[3] In what is "perhaps a coincidence, but an intriguing one nonetheless", Thelema is also the occult spiritual philosophy and new religious movement founded in the early 1900s by Aleister Crowley.
Moderna
Thélème Partners LLP invested $500 million in Moderna. In November 2020, as soon as Moderna announced its Covid jab "could be up to 94.5 per cent effective," the UK immediately did a deal to buy five million doses. Sunak was Chancellor of the Exchequer at the time.[4] As of 2022, the market value of Thélème’s shareholding, at $915 million, made it the 6th top institutional investor in Moderna.[5]
Thélème Partners is owned 75% or more by Theleme Services Ltd, which again is controlled by the Frenchman Patrick Degorce.[6] In 2011, Degorce was one of the earliest investors in Moderna, when Moderna only had about ten employees and a market value of around $125 million.[7]
