Charles has worked on Emerging Growth investments (over 80% being Technology-related) for more than 30 years, as sell-side analyst, investor, and fund manager. His career included 12 years in Japan covering electronics during its growth era, and pan-European work on software and semiconductors. Previous employers included Goldman Sachs & Mercury Asset Management (now BlackRock). He co-founded Inflection Point Investments in 2007 with Sasha Karim. Charles’ main expertise is in identifying little-known new growth companies which ‘multi-bag’. He directly experienced what it was like to work through some of history’s largest investment bubbles (e.g. Japan 1984-1989, Internet 1998-2000) and their subsequent busts – which he survived by applying tough valuation criteria.

Graduating from Cambridge University with a BA (Hons) in Economics, and after a brief period working at NM Rothschild in Mergers & Acquisitions, Sasha joined Goldman Sachs in 2004 where he worked closely with Charles Elliott on the European Special Opportunities research product. In February 2007 he left with Charles to set up Inflection Point Investments, having forged a successful partnership together.

Karen worked at Goldman Sachs between 2004-2012, covering European Small and Mid-cap stocks with a particular focus on Emerging Internet. She worked with Charles and Sasha while at Goldman Sachs and joined Inflection Point in 2014. Karen graduated from Cambridge University with a BA (Hons) in Economics.
