Wasatch Global Investors announced today that Matthew Dreith has decided to leave the firm effective December 31, 2023 to pursue opportunities outside the investment-management industry. Mr. Dreith was a Portfolio Manager on the Emerging India Fund and an Associate Portfolio Manager on the Emerging Markets Select Fund. He also held those portfolio-management responsibilities on the related institutional strategies.

As of today, Mr. Dreith will no longer act as a portfolio manager at Wasatch. But he will continue to work with the emerging markets team to ensure a smooth transition of his research responsibilities. Ajay Krishnan, who has been with Wasatch for more than 28 years, remains the Lead Portfolio Manager on both funds and related institutional strategies.

Mr. Krishnan is Wasatch’s head of emerging markets investing and leads a dedicated 10-person team of analysts and portfolio managers. He and the entire team have ensured that Mr. Dreith’s insights regarding companies and markets have been fully integrated into the firm’s knowledge base. With India being one of Wasatch’s largest country weights, the firm has committed especially strong resources there.

“We want to thank Matt for his outstanding contributions to our firm and clients,” said Eric Bergeson, President of Wasatch Global Investors. “After 17 successful years in investment management, including over 11 years at Wasatch, Matt has decided to pursue opportunities in the real-estate business. We wish him the best in his new endeavors.”
