As a macro analyst, Pickford will support the management team behind the firm’s multi-asset and fixed income funds, leaning on his 13 years experience in the investment industry. His most recent role was as a macro-consultant, prior to which he spent eight years as chief economist with hedge fund manager Sloane Robinson.
His responsibilities will be to provide global and emerging market macro-economic analysis that will feed into the investment decisions across fixed income, equity and foreign exchange markets.
Tristan Hanson, Head of Asset Allocation for Ashburton said: “The current macro environment can be confusing and frustrating for investors but this is our type of climate, and there are some great opportunities. Derry will play an active role in identifying and exploiting such opportunities.”
