River Global and Goodhart Partners are pleased to announce a strategic initiative which sees River Global Investors appoint Goodhart Partners, a London-based global equity boutique, as investment adviser to its European equity strategies. As part of the appointment James Sym, lead manager of River Global’s European funds, will join Goodhart from where he will continue to source, identify and evaluate investment opportunities for the funds, providing continuity for clients invested in these strategies.
Investors in River Global’s European equity strategies will benefit from the additional support provided to James who will have access to Goodhart’s wider and highly experienced European research capability.
Alex Hoctor-Duncan, Chief Executive of River Global said “One of the many benefits of being a boutique manager is the ability to be agile and dynamic. This initiative provides access to additional European expertise and offers our clients an enhanced and strengthened capability while providing continuity of service.”
James Sym said “I am pleased to be able to provide continuity of philosophy and process for clients. With this strategic initiative, we continue to offer clients in the funds a boutique home with additional resource in this specific area. I will continue to employ the same investment approach I have over the last 18 years as a European equity investor. I am excited to be joining Goodhart Partners and working with some outstanding new colleagues while continuing to support the existing clients.”
Gary Tuffield, Partner at Goodhart Partners said, “European equities have been deeply out of favour, and we believe are offering investors a very attractive entry point. James is an exceptionally talented business cycle practitioner and complements our investment approach at Goodhart. We are pleased to be working closely with River Global on this initiative.
