Doran will begin the job on 31st March 2016, taking responsibility for a group wide investment research team.
Brown Shipley said combining the research resources of the entire group under a single umbrella will provide a greater level of investment and research resource, expertise and communication tools, which will benefit clients across the group.
Ahead of Doran’s move a review of Brown Shipley’s investment policy committee will take place, with the new structure in place.
Doran’s responsibilities for the Sterling Bond Fund will be assumed by the current deputy manager Matt Brennan, who has worked on the fund since May 2014.
“Not only is this a tremendous move for Kevin, thanks to the greater coordination and access to research from across the group, Brown Shipley’s clients will be benefit from an even greater pool of resource and investment expertise,” said Ian Sackfield, Brown Shipley CEO. “Moreover, the Group-wide research platform gives Brown Shipley the potential to deliver a genuinely unique offer in the UK marketplace.”
