This publication brings latest news of appointments in global wealth management.

Odey Asset Management, the London-based firm running traditional and hedge fund investments, has appointed Dipankar Shewaram to its equity research team, working alongside Tim Bond, who manages the Odey Odyssey Fund. The fund is a Cayman Islands-registered vehicle.

Previously, Shewaram worked at BlueBay Asset Management and then Western Asset Management, Odey said in a statement. 

A report by Bloomberg gave more information about Shewaram’s previous career, stating that he is the co-founder of Goldbridge Capital Partners, a credit and distressed debt investor, and that his co-founder was former BlueBay Asset Management fund manager Gina Germano. They set up the firm in 2011 with financial backing from Northill Capital. Shewaram left Goldbridge in 2014 and the firm shut down last year. Germano joined Hayfin Capital Management in 2015.

Shewaram’s role is a newly-created one, this publication can confirm.

“I have known Crispin and Tim for over a decade and have great respect for them as investors and for the return seeking culture at Odey. Loose monetary policy has created valuation distortions in all asset classes which will lead to good opportunities for our clients,” Shewaram said.
