W

in place and market
evolution in the fixed
income space more
prevalent than ever, this year has
been an opportunity to call on my
experience from both larger and
smaller asset managers and apply that
to the trading offering at Liontrust.
Having worked for a large global
investment bank, small event driven
hedge fund and huge long only
institution on route to Liontrust, what

experiences have been applied in
your time there?
Liontrust is very different to
everywhere else I have worked before.
It is a specialist fund management
company that takes pride in having
a distinct culture and approach to
running money. We have two primary
aims: to invest our clients’ money to try
to help them reach their financial goals
and to invest in what we believe are
the best companies around the world,
providing businesses with capital to

grow.
We believe in the benefits of active
fund management over the long
term and all our fund managers are
truly active. We focus only on those
areas of investment in which we have
particular expertise. We have eight
fund management teams that each
have their own distinct strategies. This
offers me great exposure to different
areas of the market, ranging from UK
micro-cap equities, to US high yield
bonds to sustainable investment
products.
