About the Fund Manager
Pramit Ghose
Located in: Dublin
Pramit started his career as a fund manager back in 1986 with New Ireland where he was involved in both managing fixed interest and equity portfolios and developing overall investment strategy. In 1991 he moved to Friends First where he successfully created and ran their investment division, and has the distinction of winning a Moneymate fund Manager of the Year Award four years in a row. The Friends First Pension Managed Fund was the only large pension fund to achieve an above average performance over five consecutive years in the 1990s. Pramit was responsible for increasing assets tenfold during this time.
Following the merger of Norwich Union and Hibernian in 2000, Pramit joined Hibernian Investment Managers as Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer to oversee the integration of the Norwich Union and Hibernian investment management operations.
Since joining Bloxham in 2002, Pramit has built a very successful business which today manages over £550m in Global Equity Income Funds. In April 2007 he became Managing Partner of Bloxham further tying him into the future growth and profitability of the firm.
Pramit has been managing Global Equity Income portfolios very successfully for nearly a decade. The current Irish domiciled Bloxham Global Equity Income Fund has outperformed the FT World Index by 23.2% since launch (15th October 2002 to 31st August 2011). The fund has also grown its dividend stream on average by 10% per annum during this time period
