Merrill Lynch has strengthened its pan-European Global Private Client discretionary business with the appointment of Dominic Liversedge as a portfolio manager. He joins Merrill Lynch Portfolio Managers in London, which focuses on managing the assets of high net worth individuals. Mr Liversedge was previously with Taylor Young Investment Management for ten years, where he managed private client and institutional portfolios, as well as a UK Growth OEIC, with a focus on UK stock selection. He began his career working within the investment banking division of Salomon Brothers International. MLPM manages discretionary assets in London and Jersey across a range of mandates from absolute return portfolios to specialist equity portfolios. The appointment of Mr Liversedge brings the number of Portfolio Managers based in London to 20 and follows the recent hiring of Annamaria Lovell, Tim Bailey and Andrea Di Nisio from Cazenove Capital Management. Andrew Clark, Head of Merrill Lynch Portfolio Managers said: “Dominic’s appointment comes as part of Merrill Lynch’s strategy of further developing our discretionary offering for high net worth clients in the UK and across Europe. We are building a formidable team with the ability to successfully manage segregated portfolios, a skill which is increasingly rare and which has helped drive our award winning performance.”
