Lyttleton has managed the fund since September 2001. He co-manages the fund with Nick Little who will become the lead manager on the fund from March 1. Little was appointed on the fund in September last year.

Lyttleton remains the manager on the £1.2 billion Absolute Alpha fund and £872m Dynamic fund.

“He has a long track record of success and a strong reputation amongst the investor community for his stock-picking talent and with Nick as sole manager we are able to continue to provide a broad and diverse range of product solutions that meet our clients’ needs.”
