Martin Currie, the UK-based investment firm, has appointed Ruairidh Stewart to co-manage its $110 million Global Resources Fund alongside Chris Butler and Duncan Goodwin.

Stewart joined Martin Currie’s resources team in 2007 and is already co-manager of the long-only Martin Currie Global Energy Fund with Goodwin.

"Ruairidh's experience and expertise will further deepen our resources and improve our ability to continue to deliver strong investment performance for our clients for many years to come,” said Butler, who heads sector research.

“He has been part of the resources team for the past two and half years and I am delighted he will be joining Duncan and myself in managing the Global Resources Fund."
