F&C Asset Management has strengthened its private equity funds team with the appointment of Richard Nairn as Associate Director, Private Equity Funds. Nairn joins the Edinburgh based F&C team next week from Intelli Corporate Finance, a corporate advisory firm with a focus on asset managers and closed-end investment funds.
Nairn is a graduate of Edinburgh University who initially trained and qualified as a Chartered Accountant with PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC). During his five years with Intelli he has gained experience working with
a number of investment companies and on a variety of transactions.
“F&C acquired its private equity funds business last summer. The team is now well bedded-in with the F&C Private Equity Trust established as our flagship private equity fund of funds vehicle,” says Hamish Mair, Head
of Private Equity Funds at F&C.
“Edinburgh is a centre of excellence for private equity funds within F&C. The further strengthening of the team with the appointment of Richard is a clear signal of our ambitions in this important asset class,” adds Marrack Tonkin, Head of F&C Edinburgh.
