As deputy fund manager, Bowmaker will reunite with former Merian colleague Simon Murphy, who leads the strategy.
Alex Odd, Tyndall’s CEO, said: “Since Simon assumed responsibility for the Unconstrained UK Income fund in February 2020, he has demonstrated his unquestioned ability to manage a clearly differentiated UK equity income strategy, despite the challenges presented by the UK market.
“James will bring additional expertise to the fund’s management while playing an important role in refining the approach to equity research applied across the firm’s team of investment managers.”
