William Blair Investments has launched a new Global Leaders Select Strategy following the appointment of Chandan Khanna.
The new strategy will combine the firm’s global equities capabilities with Khanna’s investment approach. This combination will result in a portfolio of 25-30 high-quality global companies with durable growth.
It will be benchmark-agnostic and aims to deliver strong long-term returns for investors through conviction, concentration and compounding.
Khanna will run the fund alongside Hugo Scott-Gall, partner and head of William Blair’s global equity team.
The new fund will sit among William Blair’s Leaders platform, a series of actively managed equity portfolios that includes the Emerging Market Leaders, International Leaders and Global Leaders strategies.
Scott-Gall said: "[Khanna’s] appointment and the launch of Global Leaders Select reinforces our commitment to delivering active, research-driven strategies that uncover opportunities across global markets."
