Quilter Investors, the multi-asset investment arm of Quilter, has today announced it has expanded its manager research team with two new hires.
Tahia Tahmin joins as a manager research analyst and will have responsibility for covering global equity funds.
Prior to joining Quilter Investors, Tahmin was a fund analyst at FE Fundinfo, responsible for the research and ideas generation of emerging markets and Asia Pacific equity funds. She has also previously worked in investment analysis for Atomos Wealth where she assisted in the managing of model portfolios.
James Sanderson also joins as a manager research analyst and will be responsible for covering government bond, strategic bond and high yield strategies.
Sanderson previously spent three years at Rathbones (formerly Investec W&I), where he covered a broad range of fixed income strategies, from money markets to securitised credit. He also has experience as an investment analyst at a discretionary fund manager, focusing on fund research and portfolio management.
Tahmin and Sanderson will report to Kristian Cassar, head of manager research at Quilter Investors, and will produce ideas for consideration within Quilter Investors’ range of multi-asset portfolios, including the WealthSelect Managed Portfolio Service and the Cirilium range of portfolios.
The manager research team sits within Quilter Investors’ overall research hub. The hub is formed of three teams: the manager research team led by Cassar; an enhanced operational due diligence team headed up by Given Chanetsa-Mazarura; and its responsible investing team managed by Ido Eisenberg.
Kristian Cassar, head of manager research at Quilter Investors, said:
“We are really pleased to be welcoming Tahia and James to the Quilter research team. They each bring a wealth of expertise and experience, and we are excited to see their capabilities in identifying best in class funds for inclusion within our portfolios.”
Tahia Tahmin, manager research analyst at Quilter Investors, adds:
“I am excited to be joining the Quilter Investors research team and being able to positively contribute to genuinely leading multi-asset portfolios. The global equity space is vast and as such it requires an in-depth level of analysis to ensure that the funds we select are working best for the end client. I look forward to working closely with the portfolio managers and the rest of the team in bringing new and innovative ideas for consideration.”
James Sanderson, manager research analyst at Quilter Investors, adds:
“I’m pleased to be joining Quilter Investors and contributing to the development of its multi-asset portfolios. Fixed income markets are constantly evolving, and I’m excited to work with the portfolio managers and the wider team to identify strategies that can deliver resilience and value for clients.”
