London-based Stonehage Fleming Investment Management (SFIM) has appointed Carolyn Bell as Deputy Portfolio Manager for the flagship £3.8 billion Global Best Ideas Equity Strategy.
Bell joined SFIM as partner in April 2024 and will now work closely with Gerrit Smit, Head of Global Equity Management and Lead Portfolio Manager, on investment decisions and the day-to-day management of the strategy and other collective vehicles with the same investment strategy.
Launched in 2013, the strategy invests in the world’s best quality growth companies, according to SFIM.
Bell is a previous investment manager at Aegon Asset Management where she ran a number of strategies covering US and global equities, and technology. Prior to Aegon Asset Management, she spent five years as an Investment Analyst at Baillie Gifford.
Smit said: “Carolyn has made a significant positive impact on the GBI proposition since her arrival and she will play a valuable role as Deputy Portfolio Manager in helping manage a strategy which has grown substantially in recent years.
