“Our two firms share a common mindset and the respect between us is considerable. We believe we shall strengthen the investment proposition to both sets of clients by taking the best of both approaches, and we believe our clients will strongly benefit from 7IM’s greater research and risk management resource, not to mention the 7IM technology,” Bathgate noted.
