Latitude Investment Management, the London-based boutique investment partnership with £525m assets under management, has expanded its investment team with the appointment of Gabriel Hull as an analyst. Freddie Lait, CIO and Founder of Latitude Investment Management, said:
We’re excited to welcome Gabriel, who brings additional depth and experience to our investment team as we continue to build on our strong performance record. Our performance continues to be market leading, allowing us to attract significant new client assets and invest in our team and our technology. Our firm AUM has doubled over the past eighteen months as clients seek greater diversity of ideas within their portfolios. In a world awash with overvaluations and volatile economic conditions, investors need access to strategies which benefit from a rigorous valuation discipline – our portfolio equity book trades on 12x PE – as well as long-term diversified growth potential. Independent fund management boutiques offer the ideal environment for investors who seek to outperform the market. A willingness to manage idiosyncratic portfolios and avoid institutional “asset gathering” to focus on performance drives our team, and we are delighted to have Gabriel joining us.
Gabriel started his career at Fidelity International as an equity analyst in the emerging markets team. He then spent three years as an investment analyst for Highclere International Investors, an affiliate of Silchester Partners Group. He holds an MA in Classics from the University of Oxford. Gabriel will work across both the multi-asset Latitude Horizon Fund and the Latitude Global Fund – the firm’s concentrated global equity portfolio. Gabriel’s appointment follows Mike Totton joining the Latitude investment team last summer as a senior analyst.
