Award-winning fund manager, Richard Buxton, heads the firm’s UK and European equities team, dedicated to the fundamental research of UK stocks, including large, medium and smaller companies, as well as European equities. The team has no predetermined style bias, preferring instead to run concentrated portfolios with a high degree of conviction.
Our highly acclaimed global equities team, under the leadership of Ian Heslop, uses sophisticated proprietary modelling techniques to monitor global equity markets. The ultimate aim is to produce diversified alpha with low volatility of returns. The team offers capabilities in long-only global, North American, and Asian (ex-Japan) equites, in addition to a multi award-winning long/short, market-neutral global equity absolute return strategy.
Our global emerging market equities team, headed by Nick Payne, aims to achieve capital growth from across emerging and frontier markets through high conviction portfolios of 30-40 companies that, the managers believe, possess strong business models, healthy balance sheets and, as yet, unrecognised potential.
We also work with carefully-selected external managers – who are acknowledged experts in their field – to manage funds on our behalf in markets or sectors where specialist knowledge is required.
