Anna Ruut

Anna joins TDM after eight years with Macquarie Investment Management, having held roles in dealing and quantitative analysis. She finds the best way to explain her job to people unfamiliar with dealing as “a combination of shopping and playing a video game” . Anna is a sports fanatic having competed in everything from sailing to AFL – she even has represented Australia in ice hockey.

She admits now she was a bit naïve before embarking on her most recent adventure; from skippering a yacht in Greece, to climbing Mt Etna, Anna is never far from tackling a challenge (or more secretly a karaoke night featuring Disney musicals)

What inspired her to join TDM? The core focus of investing in companies with exceptional culture and now that she is on the inside “It is so refreshing to find that this value is truly ingrained within the TDM team itself”
