Odey Asset Management spinout Latitude Investment Management has nabbed analyst Rob Scott Moncrieff from Brewin Dolphin as it builds out its investment team.
Scott Moncrieff (pictured) worked at the wealth manager for five years, where his primary focus was equities in the travel, leisure and consumer sectors – some of the worst hit parts of the economy from the Covid-19 outbreak. Brewin Dolphin said it had brought two new hires into its equity research team.
Scott Moncrieff is part of a double hire to Latitude’s investment team.
Charlies Walker also joins as an equity analyst from Element Materials Technology, a global testing company, where he focused on M&A integration and corporate finance.
Latitude Investment Management was spun out from Odey Asset Management in 2016 by Freddie Lait, who had run the Odey Atlas fund at the firm.
It launched with £10m assets under management, which has since grown to £210m.
Since launch the GBP accumulation share class has returned 11.09%, according to FE Fundinfo.
Lait said the analysts join the investment team as Latitude continues to build out its fund management business.
Additionally, Freddie Ryecart has joined the business as chief financial officer. Ryecart co-founded The Culture Capital Fund in 2014 having previously been CFO at media investment group The Anthology Group.
