Wahnich joins from International Asset Management, where he was
head of risk. He has extensive risk experience and was previously
at Brevan Howard from 2006 to 2012 where he oversaw equity and
systematic trading.
Jackson joins from Nutmeg, where he was compliance officer and
money laundering reporting officer. He was previously head of
compliance positions at Rexiter Capital Management and Inscape
(Santander’s wealth management division).
“Michael and Guy’s appointments add to the bench strength in
NewSmith as we expand the product offering and work deeper with
our partners at SuMi TRUST, one of Japan’s biggest institutional
investors. These additional team members join those who
came on board earlier this year: Nick Watts as Partner and Vice
Chairman and Matthew Wright from Carmignac as Head of UK and
European Distribution,” said chief executive Ron Carlson.
