Vihari Ross, former head of research at Magellan Asset Management, has joined Antipodes as a portfolio manager, effective 27 March, 2023.

She had previously been with Magellan for 15 years and was most recently responsible for the management of a 30-person global research team.

Jacob Mitchell, Antipodes’ chief investment officer, said: “Vihari is a very knowledgeable investor who has covered global equities over many years and through various market cycles. 

“Her appointment as a portfolio manager at Antipodes will further bolster our experienced portfolio management team at a time when active management is arguably more important than ever.”

According to Ross, Antipodes’ investment approach and respected team attracted her to the role.

“I have always had great respect for the client-centric Antipodes team and the firm’s unique pragmatic value investment style. I’m thrilled to be joining such a dynamic and forward-thinking firm,” she said. 

Before joining Magellan, Ross had been at Ausbil Dexia for four years, where she covered the financial and consumer sectors, as well as at Commonwealth Investment Management for two years.

Her appointment followed the recent expansion of Antipodes’ investment offerings with the establishment of the Antipodes Climate Delta fund in January.

Led by portfolio manager (PM) Max Shramchenko with Graham Hay as co-PM, the strategy aimed to invest in attractively valued global companies exposed to climate impact mitigation and the transition to net zero.

The global equities investment manager had also recently launched a small and mid-cap global equities strategy, the Antipodes Global Opportunities fund, managed by James Rodda as lead PM and Nick Cameron as co-PM.

A spokesperson for Magellan said Ross' role at the asset manager would not be replaced following a company restructure.
