Liontrust has promoted Clare Pleydell-Bouverie (pictured) to co-head the firm’s global innovation team.
She will lead the team alongside fellow co-head Storm Uru. Together, Pleydell-Bouverie and Uru co-manage three of the team’s strategies — the Global Innovation, Global Technology and Global Dividend funds.
Prior to Liontrust, Pleydell-Bouverie worked in global equities at Neptune Investment Management.
“This is a very exciting time to be investing in innovation since we are in the early innings of multiple innovation cycles across sectors,” she said.
“The rise of passive investing and the growing concentration in mega-cap stocks have created a tremendous opportunity for investors in the winners of the new market cycle, which promises to be markedly different from the previous one.”
