We Understand the Buy-Side
Investment management is a specialist industry. Different strategies require different skillsets, team structures and hiring approaches. Our sole focus on the buy-side allows us to understand the nuances that generalist recruiters often miss.
Access to Talent Others Cannot Reach
Many of the strongest candidates are not actively interviewing. Through years of relationship building across the industry, we access individuals who rarely appear through traditional recruitment channels.
Founder-Led Execution
Every search is personally overseen by a founder. Clients work directly with experienced search professionals throughout the process, ensuring accountability, consistency and high-quality execution.
Market Intelligence
Beyond recruitment, we provide insight into compensation trends, team structures, hiring activity, competitor intelligence and talent availability, helping clients make more informed hiring decisions.
Every search is personally overseen by a founder.
Over the past decade, Frederick has advised investment firms on hiring investment, distribution and leadership talent across the UK, Europe, Middle East and North America.
Unlike many search professionals, he began his career analysing investments before moving into executive search. Having worked as an Equity Research Analyst covering public equity and credit markets, he understands the realities of investment decision-making, research processes and portfolio construction, engaging with investors as a market participant rather than simply a recruiter.
