Helen has worked in a variety of investment-product focused roles in fund management firms, including GMO, Man Group, and JP Morgan. Helen will be part of the investment team, working as a product specialist and will collaborate closely with Fulcrum’s Global Client Group.

“We are thrilled to welcome Stephen and Helen to Fulcrum. They both have an important role to play as we seek to further specialise roles within the investment team.”
Suhail Shaikh, Chief Investment Officer, said:
“Gavyn Davies, our Executive Chairman, and I have worked with Stephen before, both at Goldman Sachs and at Fulcrum, and have known him for decades. I am especially excited to bring his currency trading and risk management expertise back into the firm.
We are fortunate in having a growing list of clients from around the world and Helen will help us continue to deliver excellent service to our clients, while also enabling portfolio managers to remain entirely focused on generating performance for our clients.
I look forward to Stephen and Helen joining our investment team.”
