Objective
Actively managed by Jupiter
Richard Watts and Nick Williamson head up the Chrysalis Investments’ investment team. Chrysalis’ proposition is based on its ability to offer material crossover funding. As Chrysalis has grown, its ability to offer a meaningful crossover proposition internally has increased, but is further underpinned by over £6.4* billion of capital managed by Jupiter Fund Management PLC and its subsidiaries focused on the UK small and mid-cap listed market.
*Merian Global Investors as at February 2021.
