Pie Funds targets Europe and the UK from Hawkes Bay
Having moved his family to a lifestyle block near Havelock North almost a year ago, Pie founder Mike Taylor says he's on track to open a new office there in January which will hopefully tap into a new client base.
"There's obviously no other fund manager who has an office in the Hawkes Bay so it's a point of difference and we expect that we'll be able to attract a reasonable amount of money from the Hawkes Bay."
However Auckland's North Shore is still very much home base for the business which Taylor started in 2007 and which now has 21 staff, 8 products and $530 million under management.
With regular flights out of Napier, Taylor still spends a significant portion of the week in Auckland and says that in a wired world where phones have become "walking computers" he's always accessible to team members. Besides, he says "I don't have to be standing over them, over every single decision that gets made."
