About Henry Craik-White

Growing up, science first-class the world of chemistry captured my imagination. I learned a first-class degree in the subject by blending research with business: As a co-inventor of a non-stick chewing gum formulation, I watched the process of patenting, fundraising and commercialising the science. Years later, the company went public!

Finance had always been a part of my life, I would sit with my father, managing our investment portfolio. This early interest in finance led me to secure a position at the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), where leveraged finance was still a nascent field, but the bank was spearheading its growth in Europe. Thanks to our market leader position, I progressed rapidly from a novice to running deal streams in my mid-20s.

At Schroders, we focus on identifying pricing inefficiencies in the market. Our intrinsic understanding of enterprise value plays a crucial role in our investment approach. This enables us to select situations that are more likely to repay at par, as well as identify situations were default risk is greater than market implied pricing.

Managing risk involves navigating through various interconnected factors. The goal is to strive for perfection each day, knowing that it's an ongoing pursuit. As someone who has a penchant for geekiness and an entrepreneurial mindset, I thrive in an environment that embraces constant change.
