Charalee Hoelzl spent more than seven years at Ruffer, joining the firm in 2014 as a compliance assistant and departing this year as an investment manager.
She will join former Redburn equity analyst Akash Bhanot in the next stage of Seilern's growing team, both working as research analysts.

On the new hires, Seilern said he was "delighted" to have gained the pair.
He said: "We continue to focus our resources to further strengthen the implementation of our investment process.
