The appointment marks a return to KBIGI for Bonthron, who was a portfolio manager on the firm’s Water Strategy from 2008-2010.
Bonthron is the fourth hire for the Dublin-based asset manager this year, following the appointment of Ben Cooke as a portfolio manager, Jeanne Chow Collins as ESG and engagement analyst, and Robert Fullam as an equity analyst.
