Pantheon International (PIN) has announced that Charlotte Morris has been appointed as co-lead portfolio manager of the trust with immediate effect to work alongside Helen Steers, succeeding Jie Gong in the role.

Based in London, Charlotte is an investment partner at Pantheon and actively involved in the firm’s private equity secondaries business. PIN says that she has been instrumental in sourcing and executing investments over the past several years and her expertise in single-asset secondaries is particularly relevant as its portfolio is tilted 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. Charlotte and Helen will continue to be supported on a day-to-day basis by an experienced team that is dedicated to PIN.

John Singer CBE, PIN’s chair says “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.”
