Recognition for Osborne at Absolute Alpha

BlackRock has named Nick Osborne as co-manager on the BlackRock UK Absolute Alpha fund, lead managed by Mark Lyttleton. Osborne has worked on the fund since launch, but this move formalises his position. "A fund like this is quite well suited to having two pairs of eyes looking at it as there is quite a lot going on with the long and short positions," said Lyttleton. "Nick has a slightly different skill set and we work quite well together. So it's a change to the outside world, but not to us." - Turn to page 36 for a profile of the BlackRock UK Absolute Alpha fund.
