Christos and Nabeel will work alongside the existing team of analysts on the Melchior European Absolute Return Funds, managed by Leonard Charlton, providing company research across all sectors within the Pan-European equity universe. 
 
Leonard Charlton, Manager of the Melchior European Absolute Return Fund and Head of Dalton Strategic Partnership’s European Equity Team, says: “Christos and Nabeel are welcome additions to the Melchior European Absolute Return team. Both demonstrate impressive investment pedigrees, and a strong record of fundamental equity research. Their experience and expertise will be of significant benefit to the strategy and our clients.”
