Sarasin

Pictet Asset Management is gearing up for a major push into the UK market and plans to add other onshore funds to its newly-launched multi-asset offering, according to deputy CEO Laurent Ramsey.

Mark Whitehead has left Sarasin & Partners to lead Martin Currie's rejigged equity income team.

Woodford Investment Management, Ruffer, Sarasin and Invesco are among the groups backing a new share placing by Oakley Capital's private equity trust.

Three themes driving global markets

Following several fund groups' decision to publish active share figures for the first time, Investment Week asks selectors how important the tool really is for fund selection.

Andrew Thompson, formerly head of strategic distribution at Sarasin & Partners, has joined John Duffield's Brompton AM as head of multi-asset sales.

Sarasin & Partners has expanded its sales team with two new hires, in an effort to increase the distribution of its offering to the discretionary market.

Short-termism can be seen across many sectors of the financial world, but are fund managers becoming too short term in their investment outlook, and how can the industry fight back against this trend?

Sarasin has scrapped the performance fee and reduced the annual management charges on its AgriSar fund as it prepares to rename the vehicle.
