Havelock London has appointed Link Asset Services as the authorised fund manager for the launch of its inaugural fund later this year.
Link’s appointment as authorised fund manager follows a series of new wins for Link’s fund solutions team following its sale to Australia’s Link Group in November last year.
Havelock London intends to combine traditional investment management with modern data science and technology.
It will focus on a small number of investments, and identify long-term value opportunities as a result of data analysis and an investment selection process.
Peter Hugh-Smith, managing director of fund solutions at Link Asset Services, said: “We are delighted to be appointed as AFM to Havelock London—an appointment that recognises our market leading expertise in supporting innovative market entrants.”
Matthew Beddall, CEO and founder of Havelock London, added: “The explosion in the amount of data available to investment managers has the potential, when used properly, to revolutionise the way we analyse companies, invest money and report to customers.”
