London, United Kingdom

I founded Bedlam in 2002 as a long only, unconstrained equity fund management company to serve large institutions and smaller investors.The aim was to manage money slightly less badly than the industry, a little cheaper and with total transparency. After several years of growth bringing AUM close to $1bn, sadly a combination of events made the company's future viability too uncertain. Thus it was decided that the best option, despite strong performance across all mandates was to close voluntarily. This made it much easier for clients to find new managers, provide a decent payout for staff and ensure that as much as possible could be returned to shareholders.

Head of UK and also a number of offices in Europe, Asia and Africa which I had established. Also head of UK sales and involved in both research and CF functions.
