Founders
Robert worked for European fund managers such as Threadneedle and Credit Suisse Asset Management as a U.S. and global fund manager for nine years.
In late 2009 he joined Merrill Lynch’s research sales and then Oppenheimer. While on the sell side, Robert’s clients consistently asked him to do bespoke research projects, leading to the partnership with Vipin and Abacus Research.
​
Robert has consistently been a generalist, but has expertise in technology, healthcare, industrials, financials and mid cap. Historically he had been style agnostic running mostly concentrated portfolios, with a US benchmark or thematic bias.
Robert holds a Masters in mechanical engineering from Bristol University.
