CedarKnight Partners LLP Appoints Head of Operations for the Specialised Boutique Asset Manager
LONDON, October 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
CedarKnight Partners LLP has appointed Ranjit Atwal to head its Investment Management Operations across the firm's international business.
Located in the firm's new London office on Berkeley Street, Ranjit will be overseeing all operational and client reporting matters across a number of jurisdictions where CedarKnight operates and is launching in the very short-term. In his new role, he will work closely with the CedarKnight management team to support the firm's expansion plans following its recent success with new investment mandates.
Speaking about Ranjit's appointment, co-founding partner, Gilly Uppal said: "Ranjit brings with him a strong institutional background in wealth management and leading operations within the boutique alternative investment space. We are experiencing a demand for our market neutral event and corporate action strategies and key to the firm's philosophy is the ability to offer such strategies supported by robust infrastructure. Ranjit comes from a solution driven environment that will help drive the business forward in meeting such demands."
Co-founding partner, Kenyon Abel, added: "As a highly specialised manager, we use a range of investment structures to meet our investor requirements. For a manager like CedarKnight dealing with a niche range of structures, Ranjit's knowledge and ability to navigate in today's operating environment will make him integral to ensuring we continue with our professional service to clients and counterparties."
Commenting on his appointment, Ranjit Atwal said: "It is an exciting time to join a firm that prides itself on focusing on managing innovative strategies for a select sophisticated investor base. Investors and counterparties are increasingly looking to the operational integrity of a firm and their investment strategies and this becomes vital for a firm like CedarKnight who has placed a strong emphasis on developing a portfolio of closely held client relationships. The trend towards more tailored and bespoke strategies to investors over a range of investments shows that emerging asset managers with robust operations can offer a true tailored approach and I look forward to leading this at CedarKnight."
Ranjit worked with Jupiter and Schroders early in his career before spending several years with Global Investment Solutions at Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management. Since leaving Deutsche in 2012 he has headed operations at another alternative investment manager.
