Goshawk Asset Management has finalised name changes to its two strategies, the Vermeer Global fund and the HANetf Global Balanced fund, following regulatory approval.
The global equity boutique, which was launched last year by former Artemis manager Alex Illingworth (pictured) and Harwood Capital Management, acquired Vermeer Asset Management and its £81m Vermeer Global fund in September 2024.
The Dublin-domiciled fund has now been renamed the Goshawk Global fund.
The strategy is managed by Vermeer founders Tim Gregory and James Rowsell, who joined Goshawk as part of the acquisition, as well as former Artemis fund manager Simon Edelsten.

Goshawk also manages the HANetf Global Balanced active ETF, which has now been renamed the Goshawk Global Balanced UCITS ETF.
Following the changes, Goshawk CEO Illingworth said the firm has “big ambitions”.
“The funds are both growing and we’ve attracted a lot of interest. It is good to have approval on the fund names now as we build recognition of Goshawk and the strong team here.”
Simon Edelsten, who originally retired from fund management in October 2023 after a decade managing the Artemis Global Select fund and Mid Wynd Investment Trust alongside Illingworth, re-entered the industry to join Goshawk in October last year.
