Manager Information

Manager name Robin Geffen
Manager since 31/12/2004
Manager's biography Robin has over 30 years' investment experience. He graduated from Keble College, Oxford in 1979 and began his investment career at Charterhouse J Rothschild as a graduate trainee. His next move was to Eagle Star, where he was initially on the European desk before heading the Asia Pacific team. Robin then became Senior Investment Manager at York Trust plc before spending seven years at Scottish Equitable, where he set up their pooled fund business. Robin joined Orbitex Investments Limited as Chief Investment Officer in 1997, managing the award-winning Russia & East European Fund, and was most recently Global CIO - Pensions. Robin set up Neptune Investment Management in May 2002, having identified a space in the market for a new, dynamic fund management firm that got back to basics and focused on delivering superior performance. He manages some of Neptune's flagship funds and has a host of awards to his name. The entire investment team and fund range were awarded the Outstanding New Talent category in the OBSR Honours awards in 2008 and, more recently, Neptune was named Specialist Group of the Year at the Investment Week Fund Manager of the Year Awards 2009.
