Given the affection for its co-founder, it's easy to forget that there's a whole lot more to investment management at Gluskin Sheff + Associates than just chief investment officer and resident wit Ira Gluskin.
But one of the strengths of this firm, which oversees $6-billion of assets, is a deep investment team, filled with portfolio managers every bit as smart as Mr. Gluskin. In fact, Ira would prbably tell you they're smarter. (If you don't read Ira's monthly musings, which are posted on the firm's web site, you should.)
That team got deeper this month when former top-ranked technology analyst David Hodgson came aboard.
When last seen on the Street, Mr. Hodgson was head of research at Genuity Capital Markets, departing on the best of terms this spring with plans to move to the buy side.
He's arrived at Gluskin Sheff to back up portfolio manager Bill Webb, whose oversees growth and hedge funds that hold both Canadian and the U.S. stocks. This is part of a larger evolution at the firm, as Mr. Webb picked up the title of deputy chief investment officer this month.
There's more than one deputy on the job at Gluskin Sheff, as chief operating officer Jeremy Freedman just picked up the deputy-CEO title, backing up CEO Gerry Sheff.
The two founders of publicly-traded, 24-year-old Gluskin Sheff aren't going anywhere, but they've clearly put succession plans in place.
