ECP Asset Management expands
Manny Pohl’s boutique Australian equities manager ECP Asset Management has expanded its footprint, establishing a national office in Sydney and expanding its investment team.
The company announced that former Macquarie Bank senior staffer Andrew Dale would be joining the investment team as a portfolio manager in the new Sydney office.
Commenting on the moves, Pohl said investments within clients’ portfolios were performing strongly and that this was leading to increasing demand.
“We launched our funds management business less than 12 months ago. Our flagship strategy, the ECP AM EX50 strategy, is performing extremely well and our funds under management have been rising steadily,” he said.
Pohl said the business had further growth plans and additional announcements would be made soon.
