Warakirri hires former JANA CIO
Warakirri Asset Management has appointed Steven Carew as head of multi-boutique platform.
The newly-created role would see Carew have responsibility for existing manager relationships, identifying opportunities for potential new investment strategies and executing new boutique opportunities for the Warakirri platform.
Carew joined the firm from JANA Investment Advisers, where he worked for over 20 years and held the role of chief investment officer until late 2021.
He would report to managing director, Jim McKay.
McKay said: “We're delighted to have someone of Steven’s calibre and deep industry experience join our team as we continue to build Warakirri’s business and achieve our growth objectives.
“Steven’s significant investment and manager research experience will play a critical role around the identification and execution of new boutique partnerships that can consistently exceed client objectives as well as working with our existing investment boutique partners to further enhance our funds management capabilities.”
Carew said: “I am excited to join Warakirri, an organization I have interacted with for many years, as it has not only continued to grow and diversify its business but remained focused on delivering superior outcomes for its clients”.
