Manager Research
all members of our manager research team have over ten years of investment experience.
SIM has a new head of fixed interest investments, Mokgatla Madisa, after the business and Chris Hamman, who had previously been at the helm since April 2010, parted ways at the end of October. Mokgatla joins SIM from Argon Asset Management where he has been fixed interest head for the last five years.
The fixed income team is responsible for the management of the SIM Money Market fund, the SIM Bond Plus fund and the SIM Enhanced Yield fund, the latter of which also had Chris as portfolio manager. Melville du Plessis, portfolio manager of the SIM Bond Plus fund has taken over responsibility for the management of the Enhanced Yield fund from Chris.
Overall, we feel the embedded investment process and remaining team members offer enough support and experience to facilitate the hand over, such that the management of the funds will continue largely unchanged.
Mokgatla will be supported by André Roux, current CIO of Sanlam Emerging Markets, who headed up fixed interest at SIM from 2001-2010, in addition to the remaining fixed interest team consisting of four portfolio managers and four credit analysts.
