Oberon Strengthens Investment team with Appointment of Former Odey Asset Management CEO Peter Martin
Oberon Investments Group plc (AQSE: OBE), the boutique investment management, wealth planning and corporate broking group, is pleased to announce a significant senior appointment to accelerate its strategic growth plans.
Following the recent appointment of Citywire AA ‑ rated small ‑ cap fund manager Richard Penny from Crux Asset Management, Oberon is pleased to announce the appointment of Peter Martin, former Chief Executive Officer and Partner of Odey Asset Management. Peter brings over four decades of experience in investment management, having held senior leadership positions at Rothschild Private Bank, J.P. Morgan and Fleming Private Asset Management. At Odey, he managed the LF Odey Portfolio Fund and played a key role in guiding the business through a period of transformation. At Oberon, Peter will work closely with the wider team to build on the strong foundations already in place, with plans to launch a new Global Equities fund aimed at continuing his long-standing successful strategy that served multiple high net worth clients in his previous roles.
Peter is joined by his former Odey colleague, Jake Bambridge, who takes on the role of Funds Operations Manager. Jake brings over 17 years of experience in financial services, most recently serving as Operations Manager at Odey Wealth Management. In this role, he oversaw the day-to-day operations of a high-net-worth private client business managing over £650 million in assets under management. His appointment strengthens Oberon's operational infrastructure as the Group continues to grow its fund management offering.
These appointments mark a material enhancement to Oberon's investment capabilities, expanding its platform into new institutional markets and reinforcing its commitment to attracting top ‑ tier talent.
Simon McGivern, Chief Executive Officer of Oberon, commented:
"We are thrilled to welcome Peter and Jake to the team. Peter's exceptional track record in building and managing funds at leading institutions will underpin the next phase of our growth. These appointments signal Oberon's intent to build a broader, deeper investment platform for our clients and shareholders."
Peter Martin, commented:
"Oberon is a young, ambitious business focused on growth. It is also unencumbered by historic structures and is therefore free to develop new funds and services suited to the current investment environment. These factors appeal to me and my team, so we are delighted to be joining Oberon and we are looking forward to contributing to its future success."
