Schroders announces the appointment of Nicholette MacDonald-Brown as a Fund Manager on the
European Equities team. Nicholette is joining this month and will report to Rory Bateman, Head of
European Equities.
Nicholette joins after 11 years at Goldman Sachs where she was a senior investor for three years for
the European portfolio at Goldman Sachs Investment Partners (GSIP). She also developed extensive
portfolio management skills as lead manager of UK Small Cap from 2005 to 2008 and then as CoHead of European and International Small Cap from 2007 to 2008.
Rory Bateman, Head of European Equities at Schroders, said:
“We look forward to Nicholette joining at an exciting growth stage for the European equities team. Her
experience as a European fund manager as well as her skills in fundamental analysis within the hedge
fund space will further strengthen and broaden our existing capabilities. We are seeing strong
performance across our product range and I am confident that Nicholette will be a huge asset to the
team.”
This appointment follows the three year anniversary of Schroder ISF1 European Large Cap in June
under Rory Bateman’s management. The Fund has outperformed its benchmark returning 17% and
2.9% against 14.9% and 0.8%2 over one and three years and has ranked in the first quartile over the
