The best asset managers are in post, performing well, and rarely actively looking.
Approaching a high-performing asset manager demands instant credibility: these profiles are constantly solicited and give their attention only to interlocutors who genuinely understand their craft. Our consultants, specialised in asset management, conduct this direct approach with the technical precision these conversations require, backed by augmented sourcing that widens the identified pool.
Our consultants speak the technical language of asset management, a prerequisite for capturing a high-performing manager's attention.
We identify high-performing managers beyond public rankings and the circles already targeted by competitors.
Every contact is qualified before being engaged, so we only approach profiles with genuine potential interest.
Sourcing an asset manager combines performance analysis, mapping of market moves, and identifying profiles with low public visibility but strong recognition among peers. The direct approach is then conducted by a consultant who masters the specifics of the relevant asset class, for an immediately relevant conversation.
By cross-referencing performance data, career moves and referencing with investors and sector peers.
Often, yes — hence the importance of a credible direct approach, centred on a genuinely differentiating project rather than a simple financial proposition.
Our mandates mainly cover equities, credit, multi-asset and alternative funds, with consultants specialised by asset class.
An effective asset manager is not simply a good analyst. They combine deep market understanding, investment risk discipline, and the ability to communicate their investment philosophy to clients and sales teams. These qualities emerge over time — not in a single interview.
Turgot Executive Search evaluates asset managers on the basis of their actual track record, their stated and observed investment process, and their behaviour during underperformance phases. Our direct approach identifies fund managers who are not in active search but would consider an exceptional project.
