Treasury Group-backed global equities boutique Aubrey Capital Management has been awarded a $30 million mandate from Skandia Investment Group, and announced a key appointment.
The mandate follows a competitive tender reviewing Aubrey’s past asset management record and capability in delivering tailored investment management solutions, according to chief investment officer Andrew Dalrymple. The mandate brings Aubrey’s funds under management to $496 million.
Aubrey has also appointed John Ewart to the role of senior investment analyst, where he will head the global emerging markets (non-Asia) sector.
Ewart has over 20 years’ experience managing European funds, institutional UK pensions and international client portfolios, according to Aubrey.
He has managed both pan European equity portfolios in the UK retail and pension fund market, and segregated client portfolios at First State Investments and FS Assurance.
At Alliance Trust, Ewart managed UK mid-cap portfolio, the Global Equity portfolio, and most recently, the Global Emerging Markets portfolio.
Dalrymple said he would tour Australia in May to share insights into a recent Asian research trip and the positioning of Aubrey’s Global Conviction Portfolio.
