Neil Dunn is a founding member of Munros and was the founding partner of what is now known as Kempen Capital Management (UK) Ltd. He set up the underlying partnership in 1989 and subsequently negotiated its sale to Kempen & Co N.V. in 1997. Neil was appointed as Managing Director of the resulting company. He resigned from his position with Kempen in February 2006. For more than 30 years, Neil Dunn has been working in the investment field at Standard Life Assurance Company, Ivory & Sime, PLC, and Kempen Capital Management (UK) Ltd. Prior to founding Kempen Capital Management (UK) Ltd., he specialized in the management of small company portfolios throughout the world, including Japan, South East Asia, and the U.S. Since 1994, however, he has focused entirely upon European markets. Neil Dunn has in the past held a number of outside directorships, mostly as a non-executive director to Funds managed by some of the largest United Kingdom institutions.
Neil is married with two grown daughters and four grandchildren. When business and family commitments permit, his principal activities outside the office are reading and fishing. As his job involves a significant amount of travel, one of the benefits of being part of an international company has been that it has allowed Neil to enjoy a wide range of fishing experiences from the Finnish archipelago to the Rocky Mountains. On the reading front, he is particularly interested in history, politics and current affairs.
