Independent active equity manager Causeway Capital Management has expanded into the UK market with the opening of a new London office, operated through its new subsidiary Causeway Capital Management (UK) Ltd.

Alongside this, the firm announced the appointment of Richard Clarke-Wilson as director of EMEA business development at Causeway Capital Management (UK), to be based in the new London location.

In his new role, Clarke-Wilson will look to build the firm’s relationships with prospective investors and clients in the UK.

Causeway Capital specialises in global equity portfolios, including Global Value, Global Systematic, Global Small Cap, and Emerging Markets equity.

Each applies the firm’s integration of fundamental and quantitative research, with funds now available to investors from certain European jurisdictions including the Global Value and Emerging Markets UCITS funds.

Causeway Capital said its new London office reflected its ongoing commitment to serving clients globally and building long-term partnerships in ‘key’ international markets.

It is aiming for the London location to support existing relationships and engage with new prospective investors across institutional, consultant, and wealth management channels.

Clarke-Wilson has joined the firm’s UK subsidiary from Harding Loevner, where he was head of wholesale UK & Ireland.

He previously held senior business development roles at Majedie Asset Management and GAM Investments UK, bringing over 20 years of experience in cultivating partnerships with investors and distributors.

“We are pleased to welcome Richard as director of EMEA business development,” said Causeway Capital Management CEO, Sarah Ketterer.

“The opening of a London office reinforces our long-term commitment to serving clients across the region and expanding our international presence.”

Clarke-Wilson added: “Causeway’s differentiated blend of deep fundamental insight and innovative quantitative research creates real value for clients navigating increasingly complex markets.

“I’m delighted to help extend that capability across EMEA and build long-term partnerships based on trust and performance.”
