John Pickard
Partner
John joined h2glenfern in 2019 and has a general focus on all elements of providing strategy and communications advice for our clients, in both the public and private markets. He also leads our ESG consultancy business, helping clients clearly articulate their approach in this increasingly vital area of their business.
Before joining h2glenfern, John spent 30 years in the asset management business; over 20 years with UBS Asset Management in London, Tokyo and Zurich, most latterly as their European Head of Equities, and nearly a decade as the CIO of Martin Currie in Edinburgh. During that time, he was an analyst, portfolio manager and leader, with a focus on developing talent and delivering on client objectives.
As well as creating successful performance track records, John was a pioneer in the integration of ESG factors into mainstream equity analysis and portfolio construction. As a result, he has a buy-side perspective to help clients navigate through the significant structural changes that are currently underway in investment markets.
