Pacific Asset Management (Pacific) announces changes to its North American equity division, with John Feeley joining as fund manager to oversee its North American strategies.
John joins Pacific from Findlay Park, where he was previously Deputy Chief Investment Officer with joint responsibility for a US$11 billion US equities fund, until April 2024. Prior to this, he spent six years as a portfolio manager and five years as an analyst at the firm. Over time, Pacific intends to further evolve and strengthen its North American equity offering, building on John’s appointment and its long-term focus on US equities.
John succeeds Chris Fidyk, who has decided to pursue opportunities outside investment management. We are grateful for Chris’s contribution and wish him every success for the future.
Matthew Lamb, CEO of Pacific Asset Management, said:
“Pacific is focused on delivering high-quality, craft-based investment management for clients, particularly in areas that are hard to industrialise. John is an investor of real calibre, bringing deep experience in US equities and a proven, high-conviction investment approach that aligns closely with our philosophy. We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for dynamic active managers in the US market, and John’s appointment strengthens our North American equity capability as we continue to evolve this offering over the long term.”
John Feeley added:
“I am excited to join Pacific at this stage in their evolution and very much looking forward to working with such a highly regarded team. Pacific has built an institutional-quality, scalable platform underpinned by cutting-edge technology, while preserving a culture of supported independence. That combination creates a compelling environment for high-conviction, craft-based investing and provides a strong foundation to grow the North American equity capability and deliver long-term value for clients.”
