Based in London, he will serve as lead manager for the Global Focus equity strategy, and will join a team including Paul Middleton, lead manager of the Global Dividend Fund, and Mohamed Hussein, global equities analyst.

Bumbra has more than 20 years of experience in international equities, primarily at Pictet Asset Management, where he was a senior investment manager involved with international and emerging equities. Alongside his portfolio management responsibilities, he also spent a period overseeing research for international equities. His expertise across regions and sectors, combined with a fundamental, long-term philosophy, aligns well with Mirabaud’s core investment principles, the firm said in a statement.

Bumbra’s appointment follows the promotion of Umberto Boccato to CEO and Andrew Lake to CIO.

“Gurdeep is a seasoned investor with a clear philosophy and proven results,” Lake said. “His appointment reflects our focus on strengthening our core capabilities where we can add meaningful value for clients, particularly through concentrated, forward-looking strategies.”
