Forsyth Partners has appointed Andy Brunner, the
former head of asset allocation and global investment strategy at Aberdeen
Asset Managers, as the Company’s first Chief Investment Strategist.

Mr Brunner’s prime areas of responsibility will include the development and
refinement of Forsyth’s asset allocation and risk control models in both the long-
only and alternative arenas. He will also contribute to the investment
management and research sides of the business.


Mr Brunner’s role will see him work across the range of Forsyth’s investment
funds, including third party funds and broker funds. He will also have a strong
input to new business development initiatives, particularly in the UK.


He said: "Having known the team at Forsyth Partners for many years I am now
absolutely delighted to be joining them.  It is a highly successful business that
has continued to grow strongly in spite of very difficult market conditions.  For me
this is a very exciting opportunity and I am really looking forward to making a
significant contribution to the management and development of a business that
has tremendous prospects for future growth."
