London, September 24, 2025 – Lazard has appointed a new portfolio manager to join the global equity team managing the Mid Wynd International Investment Trust.
Alistair Boyle will work in London alongside the trust’s two existing lead portfolio managers, Louis Florentin-Lee and Barney Wilson. Boyle has more than 25 years’ experience of working in global stock markets. He was a founding partner at Redburn, a global independent equity research, sales and trading firm (now part of Rothschild) for 17 years. More recently he was Head of Retail Capital Markets at investment bank Peel Hunt and a consultant to institutional macro research house Smith Market Insight.
Boyle said: “Louis and Barney have an outstanding long-term record as global equity managers focused on investing in quality growth companies.
“This part of the market has been out of favour recently. For long-term investors, though, we believe the current environment provides an excellent opportunity to invest in high-quality businesses at unusually attractive valuations. High-quality stocks continue to generate strong earnings growth and look more attractively valued than they have done for most of the past decade.”
Louis Florentin-Lee, co-portfolio manager, said: “Barney and I have worked closely with Alistair for two decades. During this time, he has been a valuable source of stock ideas, differentiated research and market insight. We are delighted to welcome him to the team.”
David Kidd, Chair of the Mid Wynd International Investment Trust, said: “There is a strong international research team feeding into Mid Wynd’s investment process. Adding Alistair to the team in London further demonstrates the determination of the Board and Lazard to deliver strong long-term performance for the Trust’s shareholders.”
