SARAH Whitley and Matthew Brett, who run the Baillie Gifford Japanese fund, have held on to their joint first position in The Herald's latest monthly table of the best-performing fund managers working for Scottish investment houses.
Jonathan Asante, a one-time leader of the Scottish top flight who manages funds including First State Latin America and First State Global Emerging Markets Leaders, climbed from fifth to third position in the latest Scottish top flight when the latest investment performance figures for the three years to September 30 were compiled by financial publisher Citywire.
The joint ranking of Ms Whitley and Mr Brett, among asset managers in about 35 countries monitored by Citywire, improved from 23rd to 15th. Mr Asante's ranking improved from 118th to 57th.
In total, nearly 100 fund managers working for investment houses with a significant presence in Scotland qualify for a Citywire rating, which denotes positive performance. Of this total, 19 are with Baillie Gifford and 12 are with Standard Life Investments.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
