Cazenove Capital, the London-based investment manager, has bolstered its investment funds business with the appointment of John Warren, a small and mid-cap sell side specialist, as a fund manager on its UK equity team.

Warren was latterly director of director of UK mid- and small-cap sales at UBS, having previously worked at Investec and Williams de Broë.

In his new role, which he assumes in September, Warren will be working alongside Paul Marriage on Cazenove's Absolute UK Dynamic, UK Dynamic Absolute Return and UK Smaller Companies funds.

“John’s small- to mid-cap experience will be invaluable in our stock selection. He has been a consistent idea generator on both the long and short side at UBS,” Marriage said in a statement.
