Key areas of focus
In my role as head of equities earlier in 2025, our focus was on elevating portfolio construction, with the hire of a dedicated portfolio construction specialist, as well as enhancing our research capabilities by leveraging AI tools.
Since moving into the multi-asset team, I have concentrated on shaping a scalable MPS proposition and the buildout of a private markets research framework capable of supporting long-term allocation needs.
More recently, the team has been exploring the evolution of systematic equity investing, assessing how we can harness these developments across our portfolios to enhance consistency.
