Geneva-based Mirabaud Asset Management has added three investment analysts to its team in London, completing its emerging markets fund team.

The three new recruits are Victor Benavides, latterly a buy-side equity analyst specialising in Latin America at Amiral Gestion; Charles Walsh, formerly south Asian portfolio manager for Hermes’ global emerging markets equity portfolios; and Neville Shaw, who was previously an investment manager for EMEA equities at Baring Asset Management.

The three have been appointed to support Daniel Tubbs in managing a new long-only UCITS emerging markets fund which launched on 2 July. Tubbs joined from BlackRock last month, having been co-head of the US asset management giant’s global emerging markets team for four years. As a fund manager, he had been responsible for two investment vehicles, one of which was the Global Emerging Markets Fund, with assets of $1.2 billion.

The Mirabaud Global Emerging Markets Fund is aimed at beating the MSCI Total Return Emerging Market Index by 3 per cent per annum on a rolling three-year basis.

Mirabaud Asset Management, a subsidiary of the Swiss private banking group Mirabaud, has operations in London, Paris, Montreal, Barcelona, Zurich and Geneva.
