CRUX Asset Management has appointed Tom Messenger to its UK equities investment team as an investment analyst.
At CRUX, Messenger will support fund manager Richard Penny on two funds, the TM CRUX UK Special Situations Fund and the TM CRUX UK Core Fund.
Messenger joins CRUX from Momentum Investment Solutions & Consulting where he had held the role of investment analyst since July 2018.
Prior to joining Momentum, Messenger had served as an equity research analyst at Third Bridge Group.
The £1.7 billion, active equity investment manager made the announcement Messenger would be joining its UK equity team earlier this week.
Karen Zachary, CEO at CRUX Asset Management, commented: “I’m delighted to welcome Tom to the team. His appointment will deepen our research into UK companies experiencing strong growth but trading at attractive valuations.
“In addition, it enables us to further expand our research universe and continue to identify those British companies where the prospects of management change and a recovery in earnings are undervalued by the market. Tom’s strong analytical skills will be an asset to the team.”
