Rob Forker has been replaced by Greg McIntire, CFA, as the Lead Portfolio Manager. Rayna Lesser Hannaway, CFA, Shane Smith, CFA, and Satya Danuloori are now Co-Portfolio Managers, bringing their unique investment market expertise. They are responsible for the North American, European, and Asia-Pacific investments of the portfolio, respectively.

Greg has 20 years of industry experience working in asset allocation, equity portfolio management, risk management, manager selection, and quantitative modelling.

Rayna leads the Polen Capital Small Company Growth Team and is the Lead Portfolio Manager for the firm’s U.S. Small Company Growth and U.S. SMID Company Growth strategies. She has 27 years of industry experience and joined Polen Capital in 2017.

Shane, based in Boston, has worked closely with Rayna since joining Polen Capital in 2019. Before that, he spent seven years at Franklin Templeton.
