BMO Global Asset Management has appointed Phil Webster as portfolio manager to its European equities team, joining from Aberdeen Asset Management, where he worked for over a decade.

Most recently, Webster was senior investment manager on the pan-European equities team at UK-listed Aberdeen.

In his new role, Webster will support colleagues across the pan-European fund range. This includes, amongst others, the F&C European Equity Fund, the F&C European Growth & Income Fund, the F&C UK Mid-Cap Fund and the F&C European Small Cap Fund, BMO said in a statement.

The firm’s European equities team is led by David Moss. It manages around £3.5 billion and consists of 12 investment professionals with expertise across industries.

The firm is part of BMO Financial Group, founded in the early 19th Century as Bank of Montreal.
