Mirabaud Asset Management has hired Ken Nicholson to manage its European small- and mid-cap equity team.
Nicholson joins from Standard Life Investments where he was investment director manager of the Standard Life Morningstar rated European Smaller Companies fund, a position he held from 2007. Before this he was investment director for smaller companies.
He will be joined by Trevor Fitzgerald, another new addition to the small and mid-cap equity team.
Fitzgerald was previously responsible for pan-European small and mid-cap equities sales at Credit Suisse.
Paul Boughton, head of sales and marketing for the UK and Northern Europe, said: “[Nicholson and Fitzgerald] are well regarded in the market and will be an excellent addition to the existing stable of talent we have built over the past few years.”
“In addition to many other strategies, we are also well known for our expertise in small and mid cap equities in the Swiss and Spanish markets; to have this strategy in our fund range is a natural evolution.”
