Christopher Sexton

After 32 years in investment management in various roles, the decision to co-found Heronsgate Capital was a natural next step.  My responsibilities have encompassed, to varying degrees, investment strategy, asset allocation, fund management and equity research.  First and foremost, however, I consider myself an economist, interpreting macro- and microeconomic developments to gain insights used in portfolio construction and security selection.

My career began at a life company, before spending 14 years as a fund manager and equity analyst at a major UK pension fund. Immediately prior to co-founding Heronsgate, I was an investment director at a UK wealth manager where I generated consistently strong returns for clients, most notably in the lead up and aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis.

My experience is supported by my CFA UK qualification and a first-class degree in economics.
