An Introduction to Polar Capital
Gavin Rochussen has been the CEO at Polar Capital since July 2017 when he took over from Tim Woolley, a co-founder of the business alongside Brian Ashford-Russell. He explains here what Polar Capital stands for, what it offers investors and the types of fund its investment teams run.
The key driver is the belief that if funds perform well, then they will attract investors which is why Polar Capital is all about performance not asset gathering. Gavin explains that the business is structured to allow the investment teams to focus on their portfolios while a best-in-class operational structure works on everything else.
Investment Teams
Polar Capital has 14 different investment teams covering a range of strategies, both regionally focused and thematic-based. The business was founded upon our technology team, which at 11-strong, is one of the largest technology teams in Europe. We offer a range of institutional strategies which are available across various structures.
