Latitude Investment Management, the London-based boutique investment partnership with £400m assets under management, has expanded its investment team with the appointment of Mike Totton as a senior analyst. Freddie Lait, CIO and founder of Latitude Investment Management, said:
We’re excited to welcome Mike, who brings additional depth and experience to our investment team as we continue to grow and build on our strong performance record. This year our performance is standing out, allowing us to attract significant new client assets and invest in our team and our technology. In a world awash with overvaluations and rising inflation, investors need access to strategies which benefit from a rigorous valuation discipline (our portfolio trades on 11.5x PE) as well as long-term compound growth potential. Independent fund management boutiques offer the ideal environment for investors who seek to outperform the market. Investing away from the crowd and avoiding institutional “asset gathering to focus on performance drives our team, and we are delighted to have Mike joining us.
Mike joins from Liontrust Asset Management. Prior to this, he spent nine years at Majedie Asset Management where he was a portfolio manager and analyst within the UK equity teams. He has also previously held roles at Deloitte and the Royal Bank of Scotland between 2009-13. Mike will work across both the multi-asset Latitude Horizon Fund and the Latitude Global Fund – the firm’s concentrated global equity portfolio.
