JO Hambro appoints managers for new emerging markets fund
01 March 2010
JO Hambro Capital Management has confirmed the appointment of two emerging markets fund managers ahead of the launch of its Global Emerging Markets Fund.
Emery Brewer, who previously managed the Driehaus Capital Management Emerging Markets Growth Fund where he was the top performing manager in his peer group, has over 20 years of investment industry experience, of which 15 was specifically in emerging markets.
Ivo St. Kovachev, previously a fund manager on a long-short equity fund, has over 15 years of investment industry experience. He also spent 10 years working at Driehaus Capital Management, during which time he co-managed the Driehaus International Discovery Fund and supported Emery in the management of the Driehaus Emerging Markets Growth Fund. He was also lead manager of the Driehaus European Opportunities Fund.
Gavin Rochussen, group chief executive of JOHCM, said, ‘Adding significant emerging markets experience has been a goal for J O Hambro Capital Management for some time given the increasing role emerging markets are playing in investors’ asset allocation decisions.
‘Our new fund managers, Emery and Ivo, both have a wealth of experience in the industry and specifically global emerging markets. Emery has a differentiated style compared with other managers in the asset class and takes a bottom up approach with an overlay of country and sector considerations.’
