Mirabaud Asset Management, which currently manages around CHF 8.5bn (£5.8bn, $9.15bn), has hired Ken Nicholson from Standard Life Investments to run its European small and mid-cap equity portfolios.
Nicholson was managing the Standard Life Morningstar-rated European Smaller Companies Fund between 2007 and 2014.
At the same time the asset manager said it appointed Trevor Fitzgerald, who was formerly at Credit Suisse where he was responsible for pan-European small and mid-cap equity sales.
“Mirabaud is delighted to have attracted Ken and Trevor to join the firm. They are well regarded in the market and will be an excellent addition to the existing stable of talent we have built over the past few years,” said Paul Boughton, head of sales and marketing for the UK and Northern Europe.
Mirabaud Asset Management’s investment philosophy is based on a long-term vision, strong convictions and risk-adjusted performances. The company has offices in Paris, London, Montreal, Barcelona, Zurich as well as Geneva.
