Pathfinder team mourns death of portfolio manager

A funeral for Hamesh Sharma was held last week. No further details of his passing have been made public.

In a statement, the KiwiSaver and investment fund manager said Hamesh was widely loved and his energy was uplifting.

Hamesh had led Pathfinder’s Trans-Tasman shares investment strategy since he joined the company in 2019. Prior to that, Hamesh was co-founder and Head of Research at Australasian Trading Management. He began his career with an internship at the RBNZ and had been an analyst in the investment strategy team at Goldman Sachs JBWere.

“His smart, articulate and passionate approach brought so much positivity to our team. Not to mention his laughter, humour and constant flow of ideas,” the Pathfinder statement reads.
