News from the quarter

Team update

After acting as careful stewards of our clients’ capital over many years, three of our colleagues - David Gait, Sashi Reddy, and Sujaya Desai - stepped back from their portfolio management responsibilities in August and left the business. Doug Ledingham, Jack Nelson and Nick Edgerton took over the lead portfolio manager responsibilities from the departing analysts.

Doug, Jack and Nick have extensive portfolio management experience, with a combined 48 years of industry experience between them. They have the support of a talented and tightly knit investment team. Stewart Investors has always operated with a team-based approach, with every investor being an analyst and all analysts being generalists. We are, and will always be, guided by our investment philosophy.

You can view the manager changes to our funds/strategies below. Please do get in touch if you have any questions.

In September 2025, we welcomed Chris Grey back to our team. Chris previously worked at Stewart Investors from 2015 to 2022. Chris joined us from Hollis Capital and before that he was at Chikara Investments, where he co-managed an emerging markets fund. Chris shares our way of thinking, and our passion for investing in high-quality businesses, and is already familiar with many of the companies we invest in. Since his return, he has actively contributed to portfolio construction discussions. It’s good to have him back.
