Very sharp, has a great instinct about investing and deeply knowledgeable about markets - and i believe the reason he has achieved as much as he has and will continue to do so is down to his deep commitment and enjoyment in understanding the investing landscape and what its drivers. He has a great understanding of the macro drivers across a number of markets and that creates a strong foundation to bring deeper insights into his investments.

I’m always struck by how knowledgeable Manish is about investments and how effortlessly he explains the effects of global events on the markets. His mix of historical insight and strategic thinking, along with a solid, data-driven approach, really makes him stand out as a CIO. I also appreciate his reliability, sense of humor, and commitment to putting clients first. These qualities make complex financial topics much easier to grasp and inspire thoughtful decision-making.

Manish is a force of nature when it comes to investment knowledge, experience and performance. His unique approach comes not only from his his hard work but also from his natural talent of interpreting geopolitical and market events through the prism of history. Manish is one of the most talented CIO's I've ever encountered, one of the most well-read and someone who is generous to share his views a wide audience. His mantra is to help others navigate the markets and his talent is to dissect market noise from the facts that matter. What makes it even more entertaining is his unique sense of humour and love of family which always adds a personal touch to his views.

His data-driven, systems-based approach to investing keeps emotions in check and decisions anchored in evidence, a mindset shaped by his engineering background and nearly two decades navigating global markets. Whether it’s structuring portfolios to withstand shocks or cutting through market noise with clear-eyed analysis, Manish brings rare clarity and conviction. A top-tier investment mind.

If I had to describe one watchword for Manish's style, I would say "consistency". He succeeds by having a clear vision and strategy for the long term in the markets and executing it with clarity and purpose, without getting bogged down in the daily noise and controversies and ups and downs, while still retaining the ability to change his mind and model in light of new information. It's been a pleasure to know and observe him for over 15 years and I look forward to the next 15.

Peer review:
Manish not only knows the industry so well but his global and macro views are always worth listening to and considering. There is a depth of understanding from years of seeing the world from many vantage points which I am sure helps his success. When the world is losing its head he remains implacable and spots the opportunities. His views on cricket and politics are also fun to discuss!

Institutional Client review:
As an institutional investor, what I value most in Manish is his structured thinking and ability to engage on both strategic and tactical levels.
He provides a clear framework for understanding risk and opportunity, grounded in rigorous macroeconomic analysis and sound portfolio construction.
Manish is not reactive—he’s forward-looking, with a clear process that translates economic signals into portfolio outcomes.
He brings a coherent house view, but is always open to dialogue and challenge, which makes him an effective partner in investment discussions.
Working with Manish brings a sense of discipline and conviction to the investment process. His combination of market insight, risk awareness, and clarity of expression makes him a rare asset in such conversations.

Peer review:
Manish’s market updates are consistently insightful - he clarifies complex topics without sacrificing rigor. He anticipates the impact of macro events, rather than just responding to them, and his macro calls have been reliably accurate. Conversations with him are always thought-provoking and he brings a calm, long-term perspective even amidst volatility. He is adept at cutting through noise and in doing so delivers strong, consistent performance in the strategies he runs.
He appears on CNBC frequently and is otherwise active in media and public speaking. He has been consulted by national governments too. Manish combines intellectual flair layered with empathy and a caring, consultative approach.

Private Client review:
I’ve worked closely with Manish for several years as a private investor, and I consistently rely on his ability to provide not just market insight, but true perspective. He brings calm and clarity to an often chaotic investment landscape.
Manish has a unique ability to take complex macroeconomic themes and translate them into decisions that are relevant to my personal goals. He doesn’t just talk about strategy—he makes it feel personal and practical.
He’s as focused on managing emotional decision-making as he is on managing risk, which in my view is the mark of a genuinely client-focused advisor.
His guidance helped me stay disciplined during volatile markets, and that consistency has been more valuable than any single trade.
I particularly value how well he communicates—his written updates are among the clearest I receive, and when we speak, he makes even the most technical issues feel manageable.
He’s more than a CIO. He’s someone I trust to think long-term, challenge consensus when needed, and keep my interests at the centre of every conversation.
