Matthew McLoughlin, head of trading, Liontrust Asset Management
Matthew McLoughlin returns in our Rising Stars list following his promotion at Liontrust Asset Management to head of trading in September.
McLoughlin joined Liontrust in 2015 as a senior trader after one year at Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) as a global equity trader. Prior to that he spent more than five and half years as a senior trader at RAB Capital.
German-speaker McLoughlin graduated from the University of Surrey in 2004 with a BSc in Economics, before joining AIG Global Investment Group as an assistant portfolio manager where he attained his Investment Management Certificate.
Speaking about being listed for the second year, McLoughlin said: “The buy-side now has more control and responsibility than ever before over the execution venues they access and the liquidity they interact with. Coupled with the heightened scrutiny and pressure that we find ourselves under as an industry, I believe it is important to give recognition to those who work hard to build and develop its reputation.”
Toby Hucker, head of broker desk, Miton Group
Toby Hucker joined Miton Group in January 2014 to head up its broker desk following the company’s acquisition of PSigma Asset Management the year prior.
Hucker began his career at PSigma in 2007 in a junior role supporting the sales team. He shadowed the managing director and head of sales at the time from the launch of the business. Hucker says the role provided him with a broad appreciation of the workings of an asset manager, both internally and working with outsourced partners of the firm.
After five years, Hucker found himself as head of marketing for the company, redesigning the website, building relationships with trade and national journalists and dealing with regulatory changes to the business practices.
When Miton Group acquired PSigma Asset Management, Hucker was appointed head of the broker desk, working closely with fund managers and the sales and marketing teams. He is now responsible for the day-to-day servicing of some of the largest discretionary wealth mangers and IFA on the desk.
Hucker’s journey from supporting the sales team in 2007 to heading up the broker desk at Miton Group following its acquisition made him a standout candidate for The TRADE’s Rising stars.
In his spare time, Hucker enjoys motorsports, playing football, ten-pin bowling and restoring cars. He also holds a license to fly private planes!
