Liontrust has appointed Mark Hawtin as head of global growth equities and Jeremy Roberts as head of global distribution (ex UK).
Hawtin, with 37 years of investment experience, joined Liontrust in May along with his team from GAM Investments, where he managed technology and growth funds.
Roberts is set to join in April and brings over 20 years of industry experience from BlackRock and GAM. He will focus on expanding Liontrust’s global distribution outside the UK, targeting markets in Europe, Latin America and the Middle East.
John Ions, chief executive of Liontrust, comments: “Mark Hawtin and his team are an important addition to Liontrust given the importance of global equities across the client base. Mark has a strong track record in managing long only and long/short equity funds at Marshall Wace and then GAM and further enhances our global capabilities.
“Jeremy has successfully built global distribution and will be responsible for expanding our client relationships and partnerships in Continental Europe and South America.”
