James Soutter has departed his role as head of global equities with Pinnacle Investment Management. Soutter moved from Perennial to Pinnacle in December 2014 after Pinnacle purchased the Perennial international and Asian equity businesses. Soutter's departure followed Pinnacle's announcement in March 2015 that it had partnered with former Platinum CIO Jacob Mitchell to establish a new Sydney-based global equities manager, Antipodes Partners.
