Liontrust, the specialist asset management company, announces the appointment of Anthony Chemla (pictured) as a Fund Manager for the Multi-Asset team.
With 17 years’ experience of fund selection both as a portfolio manager and analyst, Liontrust say that Anthony will strengthen the experience and capability of their Multi-Asset team. Anthony will work alongside John Husselbee, Head, and James Klempster, Deputy Head, of the Liontrust Multi-Asset team, supported by Junior Analysts Victor Alabrune and David Salisbury. In total, the team manages £5 billion in AuMA (assets under management and advice) across their fund and portfolio ranges (as at 19 April 2023).
Anthony was previously at atomos (formerly Sanlam Investments), where he was lead Portfolio Manager for the DFM portfolios and co-Portfolio Manager of the Managed Portfolio Service. Prior to this, Anthony worked for B Capital, a Swiss-based multi-family office, where he was responsible for investment analytics, portfolio management and solutions for UHNW clients.
Earlier roles included fund selection for discretionary and advisory clients at Williams de Broe and fund research at Bfinance, focusing on equities and alternative funds.
The appointment of Anthony Chemla follows the announcement at the end of January that Liontrust had selected new providers of the Strategic asset Allocation (SAA) – Hymans Robertson – and risk profile oversight services – Defaqto.
Hymans Robertson has been working with Liontrust to develop models for the broadest range of investable asset classes and has the expertise to help combine these asset classes in constructing SAAs to help meet the suitability requirements of investors.
John Husselbee, Head of the Liontrust Multi- Asset team, commented: “Anthony is a great addition to the Multi-Asset team, bringing a breadth of experience, knowledge and insights into portfolio construction, manager selection and investment markets. He will add significant value to the team in managing our broad ranges of funds and portfolios, helping us to meet client expectations and maximise returns within each risk profile.
With our belief that the drivers of successful investing over the next 10 years will be different from those of the previous decade, there is great confidence that we have assembled a team to take advantage of these and work effectively with Hymans Robertson and Defaqto.”
