Rathbones Asset Management has appointed Ianjit Bhatti as Senior Investment Analyst covering the technology sector, strengthening its global equities research capability at a time when technology is becoming an increasingly important driver of corporate performance across sectors.
The appointment reflects Rathbones Asset Management’s continued investment in specialist research expertise, as technological innovation plays an increasingly central role in shaping companies, sectors and long-term investment opportunities.
Bhatti brings significant experience analysing global technology businesses, having previously spent more than 10 years covering software, semiconductor and technology companies at Sarasin & Partners, TT International and Atlantic Equities. Before that, he worked for Surrey Satellite Technology Limited as a systems engineer.

James Thomson, Lead Manager of the Rathbone Global Opportunities Fund, commented: “Technology is the most important driver of change and returns in today’s market. It is impacting the success of every business, not just tech companies, and we believe this requires specialist knowledge and focus. Ianjit’s experience will enhance the breadth and depth of our research capability, help us better understand emerging trends, challenge our thinking and identify opportunities and risks for our clients.”
