Jeremy Bedford

Jeremy founded Merivel Ltd in 2018 after retiring from the partnership at Fulcrum Asset Management, where he helped grow the business to become a £5bn investment manager during his 12-year tenure. He graduated from the University of North Carolina as a Morehead Scholar in 1991 and started his career at Salomon Brothers, a London-based investment bank, focusing on Mergers and Acquisitions and Equity Capital Markets before becoming an equity specialist. It was at Salomon Brothers where Jeremy and Stephen Murphy first worked together in the investment bank.

In 1997, Jeremy joined the European Equities team at Morgan Stanley and from 2003 managed the UK, South African, and US equity teams at Investec before joining Fulcrum Asset Management in 2006. Having experience in both investment banking and investment management, Jeremy approaches investment projects not only from the perspective of why a company or fund may be interesting but also, after many years of working with family offices and institutional investors, from the investor’s angle. He considers where a potential investment may fit in a portfolio, its fundamental soundness, and the long-term investment opportunity.

Besides Merivel, Jeremy also sits on several boards and is a charity trustee and chairman.
