A New Chapter in Fixed Income Excellence
We are thrilled to announce that Ian Scott has officially joined the Chartis Asset Management team. As a boutique foreign asset management firm dedicated to delivering sustainable returns through strategic investments, we are continuously looking for ways to enhance the value we provide to our high net worth and corporate clients. Ian’s arrival marks a significant milestone in expanding and strengthening our local fixed income capabilities.
Decades of Proven Leadership
Ian brings an exceptional track record to Chartis, deeply rooted in portfolio management and capital markets. After earning his B.Com Honours in Investment Management from the Randse Afrikaanse Universiteit in 1996, he began his career as a forex trader at Sasol Oil. He swiftly moved into asset management, building his expertise at SCMB Asset Management as a money market dealer before moving to the capital market desk. By 2007, he was promoted to Senior Portfolio Manager for fixed interest.
Over the last decade, Ian has held prominent leadership positions in the industry. In 2013, he became the Head of Fixed Income at PSG Asset Management, where he oversaw the fixed income philosophy and managed the income components across multiple funds as the firm’s AUM grew to R42 billion. Most recently, starting in September 2018, Ian served as the Head of Fixed Income at Momentum Asset Management. There, he successfully led a team of seven investment professionals managing over R85 billion in fixed income assets and chaired the fixed income investment committee.
Aligned in Philosophy and Vision
What makes Ian such a perfect fit for our team is his deep alignment with our core investment approach. At Chartis Asset Management, our philosophy is rooted in fundamental analysis, value investing, and a rigorous risk management framework. Ian shares this exact vision; his investment style is valuation-based, and he firmly believes in being a dedicated steward of client capital over the long term.
With Ian on board, our collective industry experience is further enriched, allowing us to navigate the complexities of global fixed income markets with even greater precision and confidence. We remain as committed as ever to our principles of integrity, transparency, and excellence, and we are excited for the innovative, bespoke financial solutions Ian will help us deliver.
