How long have you worked in fund selection, and what do you enjoy most about the role?
I’ve worked in fund selection since 2012. My favourite part of the job is finding high quality products for an abstract investment need and making them available to all stakeholders in a way that’s tangible, appealing and lucrative. There’s nothing more fulfilling than helping our wealth management business achieve its goals while also ensuring positive investment outcomes for clients.
Private markets have seen increased allocations in the wealth space over the past year. How have you expanded your private markets offering, and in which sectors? How has this asset class been received by end clients?
Within private markets, our clients have gravitated towards credit in general and US direct lending in particular. We have recently added a European direct lending fund as a geographical diversifier and are exploring other segments within credit and infrastructure for addition to our advisory list.
Outside of work, what are your favourite activities or interests?
I’m an internationally ranked competitive Scrabble player and won the World Championship in 2017. I also enjoy travelling and music.
