WHEB Asset Management wins first segregated mandate

Appointment by Menhaden Capital PLC brings total AUM to over £100m

London, 3rd August 2015 – WHEB Asset Management LLP (WHEB) has been appointed to manage the listed equities allocation of the new Menhaden Capital PLC (Menhaden), representing its first separate account mandate to manage alongside the FP WHEB Sustainability Fund. It will be managed as a concentrated ‘best-ideas’ portfolio focused on solutions to sustainability challenges from within WHEB’s environmental themes.

In combination with the FP WHEB Sustainability Fund, this mandate will take WHEB’s combined assets under management (AUM) in listed equities to approximately £115 million.

 

Commenting on the announcement, George Latham, Managing Partner of WHEB Asset Management, said: “The appointment by Menhaden represents an important milestone for WHEB Asset Management being our first segregated mandate, and also taking our business through the £100 million AUM barrier. We look forward to building a close relationship with the Menhaden team and are confident that our specialist knowledge of the environmental investment space, combined with Menhaden’s expertise will enable us to maximise the fund’s true potential.”

Ben Goldsmith, CEO Menhaden, commented: “I’m really pleased to be working with WHEB for Menhaden’s allocation to listed equities. Over the past 3 years, the team at WHEB have established itself as a pioneering leader in sustainable investing. It’s great to have them as part of our team.”
