London-headquartered Blackfriars
Asset Management, the global emerging and frontier markets
boutique spun out of BNY Mellon, has appointed a new managing
director for EMEA and frontier markets.
The hire of Dr Anastasia Levashova as managing director follows
the recent Blackfriars management takeover of the Establishment
Investment Trust, BDT Invest Asian Focus Fund and BDT Invest
Oriental Focus Fund, which saw Asian equities investors Henry
Thornton and Simon Dobson joining Blackfriars from BDT.
In the past five years, Levashova has been head of Central and
Eastern Europe, Middle East and African sales at BNP Paribas,
having previously worked at Citibank Global Markets.
“As well as extensive experience both as an analyst and head of
sales on the sell-side, Anastasia has strong buy-side experience
and has most recently managed a successful long-short fund. In
addition to her role within our GEM team, we have a number of
Eastern European and Russian equity mandates from institutional
clients and these portfolios are also managed by Anastasia,” said
Tom Waring, Blackfriars, chief executive.
