Dominic Fisher, formerly head of charities at Merrill Lynch Investment Mangers, is set to join Singer & Friedlander Investment Management as head of UK equities.

Fisher joins in a new position, created as part of Singer & Friedlander's strategy to focus on segregated investment management services. He said he believes Singer & Friedlander will benefit from the trend towards segregated management, as well as from having a stable team in times of considerable change and uncertainty for some of the larger houses.
