Redpoint appoints impact investing portfolio managers
Redpoint Investment Management has added to its impact investing capability with the appointments of Hunter Page and Chris Parks as portfolio managers.
Page and Parks both joined from Australian Retirement Trust (ART) and had over a decade’s experience developing and implementing investment strategies that target improved environmental and social outcomes.
At ART, Page was responsible for managing the socially responsible investment option. Prior to joining ART, Page was the head of new business at Regnan, an impact investment manager which was part of the Pendal Group. He had also worked at UBS, where he developed and implemented its global environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy in Zurich, Switzerland.
Parks was most recently a sustainable investment strategist at ART, responsible for developing and implementing the fund’s approach to managing climate change risks and opportunities, including aligning the fund to net-zero and the ambitions of the Paris Accord. Prior to joining ART, Parks was an ESG analyst at Credit Suisse and at Regnan.
Redpoint chief executive, Max Cappetta, said the appointment of Page and Parks provided further depth to Redpoint’s responsible and impact investing capability.
“With the addition of Hunter and Chris to the team, Redpoint is now well placed to expand on its existing responsible and impact investment capabilities, blending the deep global knowledge that they bring with our active quantitative approach,” he said.
“This expertise will enable us to provide our clients with strategies that have a positive financial, environmental and societal impact while also remaining aligned to our proven investment disciplines.”
