I am a highly experienced equity investor and behavioural economist, holding various investment management and leadership positions during my 21-year career at Prudential PLC. I have built several successful equity investment teams and business franchises - emerging market, developed market and asset allocation.The decision framework underlying each of these businesses is based on my knowledge & expertise in behavioural economics, whilst utilising my technical knowledge & skills to build systematic tools & processes that are suited to each team.Investment Edge:My approach to active management exploits episodes in which emotions drive shifts in the market’s expectations and risk perceptions, which give rise to attractive idiosyncratic returns. These are captured within a disciplined and repeatable framework. This approach to alpha generation is price-led, durable, differentiated and portable.Awards:- 2017 Thomson Reuters Lipper Fund Award - 10 Year risk-adjusted performance - M&G Japan Fund.- 2017 Best Japan Fund over 1 & 3 yrs - Money Observer - M&G Japan Smaller Companies.

Head Of Japanese EquityM&G Jul 2015 - Aug 2019London, United KingdomAt M&G, my idiosyncratic approach to investments was used to manage a focussed, reasonably diversified, 30 to 50 stock ALL CAP portfolio and a SMALL CAP fund. My capability was buy-rated at a major institutional investment consultancy.Alongside maintaining a sustained track record of outperformance, focussed business development along with my team, facilitated a five-fold growth in assets under management. In building and leading the M&G Japan equity team, I ensured that all team members are equipped and empowered to engage in meaningful and challenging discourse.In my role as head of Japanese Equity at M&G, my team and I facilitated a deeper understanding of Japanese Equity as an asset class internally and fuelled M&G’s external efforts to create broader investor awareness of the opportunities offered in the world’s second largest equity market. This included input into SAA and TAA decisions relating to Japanese Equity. -

Head Of Tactical Asset AllocationPrudential Portfolio Managers (South Africa) Aug 2002 - Sep 2004As head of the asset allocation team I worked closely with both the CIO and CEO. I was responsible for formulating the house view on the medium term implications of the local and global economic environment for local asset pricing to allow us to assess the relative attractiveness of various asset classes. Working with Prudential’s Global Market Forum facilitated the transfer of best practice. My role included active participation in new business development, communicating our regional and global house view, consulting on SAA and running overlay portfolios. At the time of departing, to take up my new position on the Japanese equity team in Hong Kong, we had secured most of the major 3rd party TAA mandates and were one of the ten largest managers in South Africa. -
Senior Portfolio ManagerPrudential Portfolio Managers, South Africa Oct 1999 - Sep 2004South AfricaI held full responsibility for our specialist risk mandates for retail and institutional clients - both high-risk equity mandates and specialist-balanced mandates. The equity mandates reflected a distilled house view with a strong value bias and a benchmark tracking error of between 7% and 9%. The specialist-balanced mandates included a low risk, relative return mandate and a low risk, real return mandate that was managed with a tracking error of between 2% and 4%. I had sole responsibility for developing, launching and managing a specialist dividend-focussed retail fund. The fund was created from scratch, which involved extensive quantitative testing of the principles underlying it and developing the promotional material and client interface to launch and sell the fund.
