People & Business: A City full of Manducas
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.IT APPEARS the three Manduca brothers are taking over fund management in the Square Mile.
I say this because Philip, 40, has just joined Tilney Investment Management to be head of European Investment. By coincidence his elder brother Paul, 47, is at Threadneedle Asset Management, while his younger brother Francis, 34, is in charge of the smaller companies desk at Gartmore.
Philip, who was entertaining a group of clients at Aintree races yesterday, assured me that this was due to the healthy earnings to be made in fund management rather than any genetic disposition. "There's less volatility than in broking or trading," he says.
The middle brother has spent three years at Eldon Capital Management as chief investment officer for Emerging Europe. At Tilney he is set to announce more recruits for a big expansion into Europe.
So has he picked any winners at Aintree? "No, and I don't expect to," he says. "Generally I only bet on things where I have a good view of the facts - unlike today."
