Unigestion executive director, head of private equity investments Paul Newsome said: “This strengthening of the team shows our commitment to our clients to source and execute the best investments in the small and midmarket.

“At a time of heightened market and geopolitical uncertainty, small and mid-market companies, particularly in sectors such as healthcare and education, can be acquired at attractive valuations and offer growth potential uncorrelated to the broader economy. Our new investment team members will greatly contribute to this overall effort.”
