Pie Funds reveals manager change

Founder and chief investment and chief executive officer Mike Taylor said Victoria Harris, who moved to the fund manager from Milford, would become co-portfolio manager of the global fund, with him, from October 1.

Taylor will move off the Growth and Growth UK and Europe funds in the next six months.

Chris Bainbridge and Chris Wright, who already manage the funds with Taylor, will take over.

Taylor said he was not retiring.

“At 37 years of age – a spring chicken still to many – there remains an exciting future at Pie and one that I am keen to spearhead. My role as CIO is very important because it gives me oversight of ALL investment decisions. Given my experience and knowledge, I believe this is the best role for me at Pie. Finally, it puts me in a good position to manage our new product.”
