Bigg has joined van Eyk from Ellerston Capital, where he was a senior investment analyst for their fund of funds team. He was responsible for global long-short equity managers, top down strategy and asset allocation.
Bigg covered global equities from 2005 to early 2008 for the Ellerston GEMs product and CPH internal portfolios. Before joining Ellerston, he was a fund manager at QBE, managing international equities portfolios.
Chen joined van Eyk from QIC, where she was an analyst in the implemented solutions team.
