Lennox Capital expands team
Boutique fund manager, Lennox Capital Partners has expanded its team and appointed Olivia Bible as its new analyst, a move that followed the recent launch of its Australian Small Companies Fund.
Bible joined from Moelis & Company where she was a lead analyst in the equities research team, specialising in small to mid-sized companies with a consumer discretionary focus, and also advised Australian and international equity investors on investments.
She would work closely with the Lennox founders James Dougherty and Liam Donohoe.
The fund, which was launched last month, had outperformed its benchmark S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index by 3.4 per cent during its first month, Dougherty said.
“We have received a very strong level interest since the launch of our flagship small-cap strategy,” he said.
“We are delighted to welcome Olivia to the team.”
