Mitheridge Capital Management has appointed David Hirst as its new chief operating officer.
Hirst joins the business from UBS Asset Management, where he was most recently fund manager of the UBS Long Income UK Property Fund.
He will also become a partner at Mitheridge and sit on both the executive and investment committees.
In his new role he will assume responsibility for the company’s overall operational framework.
Hirst spent nearly 15 years at UBS, and prior to managing its Long Income UK Property Fund was head of UK operations at the firm for 10 years and ran its real estate and real estate debt fund business.
Before joining UBS, Hirst was a solicitor at Berwin Leighton Paisner, now known as Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner, specialising in commercial real estate for more than four years.
William Yerburgh, managing partner of Mitheridge, said: “We continue to build our partnership by adding exceptional individuals with deep industry expertise to our team. David’s track record of creating new investment strategies, especially those that successfully integrate ESG practices, will accelerate our ambitions in this area and help us maximise our potential, and impact, for the long term. We are looking forward to working with him.”
Hirst said, “I am delighted to be joining Mitheridge, alongside William Yerburgh and Archie Lord. I see significant potential for Mitheridge in continuing to build successful and sustainable strategies for years to come. I am looking forward to helping the business fulfil its ambitions.”
