Matthew Evans has left his role as an equity fund manager and senior portfolio manager at Ninety One, after more than eight years with the firm.
He is now a member of the Global Growth Market advisory board, a project aiming to develop an international stock market for growth companies.
Based in London, Global Growth Market intends to give smaller, sub-US$5 billion companies access to public capital and a simplified IPO process. It intends to begin trading next year.
Commenting on his move via LinkedIn, Evans said, “I’ve stepped away from my role at Ninety One to pursue opportunities that allow me to support businesses more directly as they scale and evolve — and to help investors access the next generation of growth.”
He described the Global Growth Market as “designed to make public markets work better for entrepreneurs”.
Evans’ more than 25-year career has included fund manager roles at Threadneedle Investments and Legal & General Investment Management.
