The Portfolio Management and Research team is a specialist function based in Edinburgh and London, housed within the Investments team and reporting to the Chief Investment Officer. The team manages over 50 client mandates end-to-end - from initial portfolio construction and capital allocation through to investment monitoring, client reporting, and mandate wind-down.
