Marcus Blyth | Senior Research Director

About me

At Investec I head the equity collective’s team and our purpose is to identify and select best in class third party solutions, applying a proprietary, qualitative due diligence approach. Our fund research list provides an exciting and diversified set of tools that are utilised in the portfolio construct process to deliver the best risk adjusted, sustainable returns for our clients. I currently retain analyst responsibilities for UK, Asia and Emerging Markets equities funds. Investment Trusts form an important part of our investment offering and we regularly engage with the investment teams and boards of all of our Trusts as part of corporate governance responsibilities. My other duties include membership of the Collectives Committee, Illustrative Portfolio Committee and Portfolio Solutions Committee.

Background/Experience

I entered the industry in July 2007, at GAM a multi-manager hedge fund, so my timing into financial markets proved to be a very interesting and challenging one, but has served as an important benchmark throughout my career. Prior to joining Investec in 2015, I worked at Architas and Kleinwort Benson as a fund selection analyst covering all asset classes. I graduated with a BA (Hons) degree in Business from Liverpool John Moores University and hold the Investment Management Certificate (IMC) and CFA ESG certificate.

I’ve had primary fund research analyst responsibilities since 2011, gaining over a decade of experience selecting collectivised strategies across the whole investment spectrum. Over my tenure I’ve also been heavily involved in the construction of portfolios, asset allocation and quantitative analysis.

My interests

When I'm not busy with family life and find some free time I like to get out for hikes, on to the golf course or, in the winter, onto my snowboard.
