Firetrail appoints small-cap manager
Firetrail has promoted equity analyst Eleanor Swanson to portfolio manager of its Australian Small Companies fund.
She would work alongside managing director and portfolio manager, Patrick Hodgens, and portfolio manager Matthew Fist.
The trio previously worked together at Macquarie where they managed high conviction Australian equity funds before starting up Firetrail in 2018.
Hodgens said: “Eleanor is an exceptional stock picker that has added material value for our investors across the Firetrail portfolios.
“The promotion to portfolio manager is a recognition of the additional contribution that Eleanor brings to the business, particularly in terms of idea generation, investment decision making and deep portfolio construction insights.
“In addition to her investment responsibilities, Eleanor has played an important role in mentoring and developing other analysts within the team and providing insights across our high conviction investment capabilities. I am thrilled to work alongside Eleanor managing the Firetrail Australian Small Companies fund.”
