Samantha was in a No 1 ranked equity research sector team (Extel & Institutional Investor Surveys) at Credit Suisse and won awards for Top Stock Pick and Earnings Estimates at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

The award-winning Economic Advantage team is headed by Anthony Cross, who joined Liontrust from Schroders in 1997. Victoria Stevens and Matt Tonge joined the team in 2015. Victoria was previously Deputy Head of Corporate Broking at FinnCap, while Matt had spent nine years on the Liontrust dealing desk, latterly winning an industry award for his work in mid and small cap stocks. Alex Wedge joined the team in March 2020 from N+1 Singer, where he had spent over seven years, latterly as a senior member of the equity sales team. Natalie Bell joined the team in August 2022, having previously been a member of the Liontrust Responsible Capitalism team where she led engagement with investee companies. Alex Game joined the team in May 2024 from Unicorn Asset Management, where he had spent nearly 10 years and where he co-managed a range of funds including two UK equity funds and an AIM portfolio service. Bobby Powar joined from Artemis in 2024. 

The Global Equities team is headed by Mark Hawtin, who has over 40 years of investment experience. Mark joined Liontrust in 2024 to create the Global Equities team along with David Goodman, Kevin Kruczynski and Pieran Maru, with Vanessa Sinclair joining in 2025. The five managers run a range of long-only and long/short equity funds. Ewan Thompson and Tom Smith joined Liontrust in 2019 and manage funds investing in emerging markets and Japan.
 

The team is headed by Imran Sattar, who joined Liontrust in 2022. Before joining Majedie in 2018, Imran was a managing director and fund manager at Blackrock. The team manages UK equity funds, global strategies and Edinburgh Investment Trust.

Storm Uru founded the Global Innovation investment process in 2017. He is co-head of the team alongside Clare Pleydell-Bouverie, and they are supported by fund manager James O’Connor. The team manages the Liontrust Global Dividend, Liontrust Global Innovation and Liontrust Global Technology funds. 

The investment team has extensive experience of Multi-Asset, equity and fixed income investing. Collectively, they have managed funds and portfolios for many decades through different economic and market cycles, and each member contributes to every stage of the investment process. The team was enhanced by the integration of the Liontrust Global Fixed Income (GFI) at the start of 2025 and benefits from being able to tap into the knowledge, insights and experience of the other investment teams at Liontrust, who primarily invest in equities. The team is headed by John Husselbee, who joined Liontrust in 2013 and was previously a co-founder and CIO of North Investment Partners, Director of Multi-Manager Investments at Henderson Global Investors, and NM Rothschild & Sons.

 

The team has been managing the Sustainable Future funds for over 20 years.  A key differentiator is the fact all the sustainable elements are fully integrated within a single team. The team is headed by Peter Michaelis, who was previously head of SRI at Aviva Investors and has been managing the SF funds since launch. The team joined as part of Liontrust’s acquisition of Alliance Trust Investments (ATI), and were previously running the Sustainable Future fund range at Aviva Investors. The other lead equity managers are Simon Clements (who was formerly head of global equities at Aviva Investors) along with Martyn Jones and Chris Foster, who joined the management training programme at ATI as graduates. Fixed income investments are managed by Kenny Watson (formerly at Ignis Asset Management), Aitken Ross and Jack Willis who also started their careers in the graduate scheme at ATI, and Connor Godsell. Harriet Parker leads on engagement activities across the team.
