Nick Kirrage
I have been at Schroders over 10 years, initially working as part of the Pan European research team proving insight and analysis on a broad range of sectors from Transport and Aerospace to Mining and Chemicals. In 2006, Kevin Murphy and I took over management of the Schroder Recovery Fund, a UK product with a 40 year track record of identifying and exploiting deeply out of favor investment opportunities. In 2010, Kevin and I also took over management of the Schroder Income Fund, the UK equity team’s flagship value product. Together with Kevin and Andrew Lyddon, I form part of the value investment team, responsible for over £4bn of UK assets, managed in a disciplined value style.

In mid 2010 I joined Kevin Murphy and Nick Kirrage on the UK value team which manages over £4bn of UK assets with a value investment style.
