Robert and his team of 6 will be responsible for the future development and execution of Sarasin & Partners’ retail distribution strategy. The goal is to build on the success achieved by Andrew Thompson and his team in distributing global equity funds and providing white-labelled multi-asset solutions over the last 5 years.
A range of funds has been available over many years to private and institutional clients as well as to the wider investment community through external advisers and discretionary managers. Best known for its global thematic investment approach, Sarasin & Partners offers long-only equity funds such as the Sarasin EquiSar family of funds, Sarasin International Equity Income fund and Sarasin AgriSar Fund. The firm has also offered its expertise in managing multi-asset portfolios for private clients and charities through funds such as the Sarasin GlobalSar family of funds and the Global Fund of Funds.
Guy Monson, Managing Partner and CIO of Sarasin & Partners, said:
"We are really delighted to be bringing Robert, Tom and Paul on-board to expand our retail team, alongside Andrew Thompson. They are joining us with tremendous experience at a time when the retail distribution of investment products is seeing so much change and they represent a significant addition to our overall offering. They will enable us to provide much more comprehensive intermediary support and client service throughout the UK, underlining our commitment to retail sales."
