Effective 1 September, James Buckley has been appointed lead manager of Castlefield’s CFP sustainable european fund.
Buckley will succeed Rory Hammerson, who is departing to head his family’s sustainable agriculture business.
Formerly the head of equity research at Cantor Fitzgerald Ireland and with 14 years at Barings as head of European equities, Buckley’s addition is hoped to bolster the fund, which currently manages £22 million in assets.
John Eckersley, founder and senior partner, Castlefield, commented: “James’ comprehensive expertise in European equities is a valuable addition to our team. His presence promises to amplify the Castlefield Sustainable European fund’s potential and ensures robust returns for our esteemed clients.”
Buckley remarked, “Joining Castlefield is a significant step for me. The firm’s ethos resonates with my professional beliefs, and I am eager to work hand-in-hand with the investment team. Our shared goal is the relentless growth and success of the Sustainable European fund.”
