 Alternative asset manager GLG Partners has appointed Andrew Knott and Anthony Burton to its London office as portfolio managers. Knott will be responsible for establishing a new global energy product and managing the firm's global energy investments. Burton will co-manage GLG's global technology investments alongside Philip Pearson, focusing also on broadening the scope of these investments to include the global media and telecom sectors.
Knott joins from Merrill Lynch, where he ran the European Oil & Gas Exploration and Production equity research team. Previously, he was an oil and gas equity research analyst at Dresdner Kleinwort. Prior to that, he was an executive in project finance at KPMG.
Pierre Lagrange, GLG co-founder and senior investment manager, said, 'Andrew is well known as one of the most influential sell-side analysts in the energy sector. He has been a key external advisor to GLG on energy-related matters over the last four years.'
Before GLG, Burton was also at Merrill Lynch, where he ran a global long/short fund largely focused on the technology, media and telecom sectors. Previously, he was a global technology specialist in the equity business of Merrill Lynch.
Lagrange added, 'Anthony brings valuable knowledge of the global technology sector and a proven ability to achieve high quality returns.'
