Pantheon International Plc (LON:PIN), the FTSE 250 private equity investment trust, has announced that Pantheon, the investment manager of PIP, has appointed Charlotte Morris as co-lead manager of the Company with immediate effect to work alongside Helen Steers. Charlotte succeeds Jie Gong in the role.
An investment partner at Pantheon, Charlotte is based in London and is actively involved in and committed to the firm’s private equity secondaries business. She has been instrumental in sourcing and executing investments for PIP over the past several years and her expertise in single-asset secondaries is particularly relevant as the Company’s portfolio tilts further towards direct company investments. Charlotte joined Pantheon in 2006 from Cdb Web Tech, an investment vehicle listed on the Milan Stock Exchange, and spent 2.5 years working in Pantheon’s San Francisco office. She serves as a member of Pantheon’s Global Secondaries Investment Committee, Investment Management Committee and Sustainability Committee, and is engaged across Pantheon’s transactional investment activities.
Pantheon International benefits from the resources provided by the wider Pantheon platform, including 128 investment professionals globally (as at 31 March 2024), and Pantheon’s robust investment selection procedures. Charlotte and Helen will continue to be supported on a day-to-day basis by an experienced team that is dedicated to PIP.
John Singer CBE, Chair of Pantheon International, said, “The PIP Board welcomes the appointment of Charlotte Morris as co-lead manager alongside Helen Steers. Her lengthy tenure at Pantheon, her experience in the US market, which is where the majority of PIP’s portfolio is invested, and her expertise in the specialised area of single-asset secondaries, will be of great benefit and value to the Company’s strategic development.
We are grateful to Jie for her support over the past year, especially for her work on PIP’s corporate strategy.”
