Coupland Cardiff AM hires Jonathan Asante for EM team

Former partner at Stewart Investors

Coupland Cardiff Asset Management has hired Jonathan Asante for the firm’s new global emerging markets equity team.

Asante, who was managing partner at Stewart Investors until 2019, will be joined by former team members Chris Grey, Joanna Kay, Tom Prew and Dominic St George. Stewart Investors is part of First Sentier (formerly First State Investments), which was acquired by Japanese fund giant MUFG. This merger saw Asante depart while the rest of the team remained, but that part of the business was closed in 2022, leading to the rest of the team joining CCAM immediately.
