UK-based Veritas Asset Management has bolstered its global analyst team with the addition of Ramesh Narayanaswamy to work across the firm’s global strategies. 

Narayanaswamy - latterly of Fidelity Investments - joins a team of five other analysts who focus on sectors within the global portfolio, including healthcare, resources, technology and telecommunications, financials and consumer goods.

In his new role, Narayanaswamy reports directly to Andy Headley, who co-manages the group’s three global products alongside Charles Richardson, the firm said in a statement.

Before joining Veritas, Narayanaswamy spent five years at Fidelity as a global equity analyst, specialising in global industries such as construction materials, capital goods and utilities.

Veritas Asset Management, which was founded in Zurich in 1993, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Real Return Group; a Hong Kong branch was opened in 2009.
