Rob Davies -- fund manager

It looks like Rob Davies has left Valu-trac, there's no sign of him anywhere on the website and the latest factsheet is composed by someone else. He is still shown as active in their FCA entry though, but this might just be out of date.

He is shown as a councillor on Stirling Council.

He stopped posting here in January, or changed username [*****]

Anyone else got info?

Funny, I was just thinking earlier today that we'd not heard from Rob for a while, and was wondering

Are you sure he was ever listed on that VT "Team" page? I took a flick through a few past captures on the Way Back Machine and couldn't find him on any. https://web.archive.org/web/20190408004 ... bout/team/

On the factsheet, I don't see any name on it at all; where are you seeing it's written by someone else?

I do note that he's still listed as the manager by Trustnet, although I suppose that could just be out of date. https://www.trustnet.com/factsheets/o/a ... a-uk-x-acc

The Stirling council page you linked to does have both a phone number and an email address for him..............

I actually mentioned here yesterday that Ohno/Munro hadn't been seen here for a few months, in an exchange with MDW.

Which party does he represent on the council?

See the 'Sterling council' link in the first post - says 'Independent'

'Stirling Council' is not quite the same as 'Sterling Council' as is probably obvious.

It's in the pdf meta-information. His pdf blog articles from last year and before have his name...



Unrelated but William Littlewood is taking a reduced role in his Strategic Assets Fund at Artemis and will co-manage with Kartik Kumar:

The markets haven't been kind to his short government bond strategy but I think Artemis are making changes close to the moment when the strategy begins to work. Funny world.

.

It leaves these boards utterly male-dominated. I can only think of one other regular female Fool contributor. Sad, and maybe explains a lot of the strutting and bickering...

This site also trends old, white and wealthy. Might I respectfully suggest that on this site we leave identity politics at the door, and avoid stereotypes?
