Anthony Cross
Anthony Cross graduated in 1990 from Exeter University with a degree in Politics. He then joined Schroder Investment Management as a graduate trainee, spending his first three years as a research analyst covering the support services and transport sectors. In 1994 he joined their highly regarded Smaller Companies team, becoming number two on the desk in 1995. During this time Anthony identified a number of characteristics common to successful companies. This led to his determination to spend more time researching the reasons for their success and developing his own investment process, which he was able to do on joining Liontrust in 1997. Anthony spent his first three months researching and documenting an investment process for UK equity portfolios, before launching The Liontrust UK Smaller Companies Fund (formerly Intellectual Capital Trust) in January 1998.
