Hawksmoor has created a separate identity for its fund management arm.

Hawksmoor, the UK investment house, has launched Hawksmoor Fund Managers to distinguish its fund management business from its private client business.

The new division comes as the company has been busy expanding its private client business, with the recent launch of offices in Dorchester and Taunton.

Toby Hine-Haycock will join Hawksmoor Fund Managers from Kames Capital as a sales manager. As part of the now six-strong fund management team, which is headed up by Daniel Lockyer, Hine-Haycock will be responsible for promoting the Hawksmoor Funds to financial advisors.

The team will continue to support Hawksmoor’s private client business, working with chief investment officer, private clients, Jim Wood-Smith, and his research team.

“I am delighted that the success of my team has been recognised with the creation of Hawksmoor Fund Managers,” said Lockyer, CIO, fund management.

“We look forward to establishing further close relationships with financial advisors and continuing to support Hawksmoor’s private client business, while above all focusing on delivering excellent standards of performance and service for our clients, whether internal or external.”

Last week, Hawksmoor launched a portfolio service for stocks quoted on London’s Alternative Investment Market and where the only shares that can be held are in companies that carry a particular kind of tax break.
