Luc Simoncini joins as a product specialist and was previously at
Dublin-based Mediolanum International Funds. He reports to
Stephen Adams, head of UK equities at Kames Capital, and will
work across the group’s range of equity funds.
"Luc’s expertise and extensive knowledge of investment markets,
combined with his first rate contacts across the industry, make
him a valuable addition to the team. He will undoubtedly play a
key role in the future success of the business as we look to
further develop and grow Kames Capital," said Adams.
Last week the firm launched two new funds to complement its
existing range.
The launch of the Kames Equity Market Neutral Fund and the Kames
Equity Market Neutral Plus Fund means the firm now has four
absolute return funds in its investment range.
The Kames Equity Market Neutral Fund is aiming for return of cash
plus 4 per cent, in all market conditions, over a 36-month
rolling term. The fund will be managed by David Griffiths and
David Pringle, who currently run the Kames UK Equity Absolute
Return Fund, as well as Malcolm McPartlin. It will typically hold
50 to 100 equity asset positions.
