Redwheel global horizon equity fund manager Louise Keeling (pictured) has retired after a decade at the firm.

She joined Redwheel, formerly RWC, in 2013 from Marathon Asset Management to head up its global equity unit.

Keeling has been replaced by portfolio manager Ben Hall, who took over lead responsibilities on the £66m fund and the wider global team at the end of June.

A spokesperson told Portfolio Adviser: “With the team stronger than ever, Louise has decided that this is the right time to step away and entrust the portfolio and team to Ben Hall who has worked with Louise for 4 years and became co-portfolio manager of the strategy in January 2022.

“We thank Louise for her outstanding contribution and wish her well for the next chapter of her life.”

According to FE Fundinfo data, the strategy has returned 31.8% for the five years to the 2 July, trailing the IA Global index which was up 44% over the same period.
