Conventional wisdom suggests that UK smaller company investments are predominantly dependent on the UK economy, but amongst the 1,500 or so smaller companies listed in London are those which have operations in almost every part of the world. We see the international outlook typical of many UK businesses as being a core strength, and seek to make a virtue of this as investors. Hence we approach investment decisions with a global mindset. Dr Paul Jourdan co-founded Amati Global Investors following the management buyout of Noble Fund Managers from Noble Group in January 2010, having joined Noble in 2007 as Head of Equities. His fund management career began in 1998 with Stewart Ivory, where he gained experience in UK, emerging market, and global equities. In 2000, Stewart Ivory was taken over by First State and Paul became manager of what is now TB Amati UK Smaller Companies Fund. In 2004, he was appointed Head of UK Equities at First State.
