Ninety One has appointed Paul Gooden as leader of the firm’s natural resources team.

Gooden will also become co-portfolio manager of the Global Natural Resources strategy, which he will manage alongside George Cheveley and Dawid Heyl. He joins Ninety One from Fidelity International where he was a co-portfolio manager of the Global Energy and Global Clean Energy strategies as well as an analyst covering US energy equities since 2014.

Mimi Ferrini, Co-Chief Investment Officer, Ninety One, said, “Paul brings with him a tremendous depth and breadth of expertise, an outstanding track record and an extensive understanding of natural resources, most especially the energy sector. Throughout their careers, Paul and Tom have primarily focused on high quality companies in the evolving energy sector. This experience will provide strong continuity for the team, strategy, and clients. We have planned Tom’s succession together for over a year and believe we have found a perfect fit for Ninety One and the Investment team with Paul Gooden. We are grateful for Tom’s contribution over the past 12 years and look forward to continuing to work with him.”
