F&C strengthens private equity funds team as it focuses on growth opportunities

 F&C Investments, the London-listed £108 billion asset management group, announces that it has hired Stuart Hastie as an Associate Director with responsibility for business development in its Edinburgh-headquartered private equity funds team.
 Stuart's role includes investor relations, fund raising and new product development.

 Stuart joins F&C with 15-years experience in the investment and banking industries. Immediately prior to joining F&C he spent four years with Lloyds Banking Group as a relationship manager with responsibility for the origination and monitoring of private equity and loan funds. He has previously worked in project finance roles in New York for both ING and HBOS, having begun his career with the Royal Bank of Scotland. Stuart is a business studies graduate of the University of Edinburgh and associate of the Chartered Institute of Bankers in Scotland.
 Hamish Mair, Head of Private Equity Funds at F&C, said: "With a strong investment track record and growing investor appetite for the European mid-market, one of our key areas of strength, we are excited about the potential to grow F&C's private equity funds business. Stuart's appointment to this completely new role within the team, which is focused on further developing the business, is an important building block in achieving our growth ambitions."
