Rhys Summerton – Milkwood Capital

Rhys Summerton has 17 years of investment industry experience and was previously the Global Head of Emerging Markets research at Citi. In this role, Rhys provided ideas to some of the world’s most well-known value investors and he also began to build up and compound what would become a substantial personal seed investment for his eventual own fund. Rhys created the Milkwood Fund in 2013 as an independent, contrarian asset manager. The Milkwood Fund is global, long-biased and highly concentrated, with some activism and advisory taking place in smaller names. Around 30% of Milkwood’s capital is Rhys’ own money, with the remainder coming mainly from other fund managers (including some well-known ones), analysts, and family offices with a proven patient and counter–cyclical mindset.
