Last week the Montpelier, Vermont-based National Life Group subsidiary revealed that Elizabeth Bramwell will retire on March 31, putting co-PM Kelli Hill in charge of three mutual funds. Those funds are: three-star, $126.1-million Capital Growth (BRGRX); three-star, $30.4-million Growth Leaders (BRFOX); and two-star, $107.8-million Sustainable Growth Opportunities (WAEGX).
"I have been fortunate to work with so many wonderful people at Sentinel," Bramwell stated. "I am also looking forward to the next chapter in my life."
Sentinel hired Hill last year as a vice president and to co-PM the three funds alongside Bramwell [see MFWire.com, 4/7/2011]. The funds' dedicated analysts, vice presidents Sanil Daptardar and William Symon, will support Hill.
Bramwell worked at Bankers Trust, Davidson Capital Management, Gabelli & Company, Morgan Guaranty Trust Company and William D. Witter before running her own firm, Bramwell Capital Management, for more than 12 years. Sentinel bought Bramwell Capital six years ago [see MFWire.com, 12/14/2005]. Sentinel president and CEO Christian Thwaites described Bramwell as "an integral part of Sentinel."
