LONDON, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Emerging markets veteran
investor Mark Mobius will step back from his role at Mobius
Capital Partners LLP in the months to come, the asset manager
said in a statement on Friday.
Carlos Hardenberg, who founded Mobius Capital Partners
together with Mark Mobius in 2018, will lead the firm, which
will continue to manage Mobius Investment Trust plc, the
statement said.
Prior to launching the partnership, Mobius spent more than
30 years at Franklin Templeton Investments, most recently as
executive chairman of the Templeton Emerging Markets Group,
according to a biography on his current firm's website.
Mobius also serves on the Economic Advisory Board of the
International Finance Corporation (IFC) - the World Bank's
private investment arm - and has been a supervisory board member
of OMV Petrom in Romania since 2010.
