Russell Pointon

Russell brings a wealth of expertise to Edison, having joined the company in November 2018 to strengthen the consumer and media teams. He honed his skills as a global research analyst by covering a diverse range of sectors, including consumer and media, mining, and education services at Newton Investment Management, where he had broader roles on the global and South-East Asia desks.

Russell enjoys getting to understand what makes companies in different sectors and geographies tick, and equally what doesn’t. He is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Chartered Accountant (ACA).

Outside of work, Russell enjoys the great outdoors—whether it’s walking and exploring new trails or cycling. He has a deep appreciation for music, often found seeing his favourite bands or attempting to play their songs on his guitars (with questionable success). The greatest challenge for him would be deciding whether to buy a new guitar or a new bike.
