Richard started his career selling US equities for the Merrill Lynch institutional equity office in London in 1979. In 1984 he moved to Dean Witter to build their institutional presence. Having become one of the leading US equity brokers of the 1980s, in 1991 he was appointed managing director of Dean Witter’s six offices outside the United States. When Dean Witter merged with Morgan Stanley in 1997 he realised the opportunity to transfer from the selling side to the buy side of the business through continuing to manage a long-only dollar-based scholarship fund. Richard has been investing in stock markets since 1972. For him the investment process is a pleasure, an end not a means: the evolving patterns and methods are a constant fascination. Since 1996, he has had the opportunity to build a successful track record in US equities.
