Antipodes founding equity partner departs



Sunny Bangia, portfolio manager and founding equity partner at Antipodes Partners, has left the firm after eight years.
A portfolio manager since 2017, Bangia’s remit had covered consumer, domestic services, financials, and infrastructure stocks across Asia and emerging markets.
The firm confirmed he departed for personal reasons.
John Stavliotis, who had been co-PM of the Antipodes Emerging Markets strategy since last May with Bangia, would now be lead PM for the strategy.
Bangia first served as a senior investment analyst at Antipodes from 2015 to 2017, covering industrials, commodities, and emerging markets.
Prior to this, he was an investment analyst at Platinum Asset Management, focusing on Asian equities.
He had also served as associate director at Westpac for almost three and a half years.
Antipodes comprised a nine-person portfolio management team, with offices in Sydney, London, and North America. It managed some $10 billion in assets on behalf of institutional investors, pension funds, investment platforms, financial advisers, and direct investors.
In March, it welcomed Magellan’s former head of research, Vihari Ross, as a portfolio manager.
