Alena Kosava has left Avellemy after a year-long stint at the Ascot Lloyd sister discretionary manager.

Kosava (pictured) joined the business as head of collectives last March and was tasked with developing Avellemy’s in-house research capabilities and helping to construct its MPS and Oeic ranges.

Her departure comes weeks after private equity investor Nordic Capital purchased Ascot Lloyd for an undisclosed sum.

It is unclear where she is moving to next.

A spokesperson for Avellemy said: “We can confirm that Alena Kosava has left her role as head of collectives with Avellemy. We appreciate her contribution to the development of the Avellemy research function over the past 14 months, as funds under management grew to over £3bn. Alena Kosava reported to Graham Bentley, chief investment officer, and her former team now reports to him directly.”

Prior to joining Avellemy, Kosava worked as an analyst on the UK equity team at Tilney Smith & Williamson which at the time managed £8bn worth of model portfolios and multi-asset fund-of-fund strategies.
