In this newly created role, Law will primarily assist SVGIM in providing specific investment advice to SVGIM’s new majority owner Hansa Aktiengesellschaft, a Swiss based investor and holding company, in relation to its global public equities portfolio.

Prior to joining SVGIM, Law spent two years at HgCapital as a senior associate focusing on mid-market buyouts across the global TMT sector.

He includes three years at Atlantic Bridge Capital, as well as previous roles at Circle Partnership, Banc of America Securities and NM Rothschild.

In other recent news, earlier this month SVGIM announced that the company will be changing its name to GVO Investment Management before the end of the year following its acquisition from old parent SVG Capital by Switzerland’s Hansa Aktiengesellschaft, or Hansa.

Hansa, which bought the business in September, has more than $1.8 billion of assets under management. SVGIM oversees client AuM of around £250 million ($402.8 billion).
