Robin Geffen hit the headlines last week when he led the shareholder rebellion against Prudential's bid for AIA. That coup aside, "there were already good reasons for investors to listen to Mr Geffen", says Charlotte Banks in The Daily Telegraph, including 30 years of investment experience and his funds' performance.
Geffen founded Neptune Investment Management in 2002. Since then most of the nine funds he manages have outperformed their sectors and he's become one of the top ten rated Trustnet Alpha Managers. One of the most impressive performers is the Neptune Russia & Greater Russia Fund. Since its launch in 2004, it's returned 243.3%. Last year alone it delivered 74.26% growth, well above the IMA Sector Average of 39.19%.
