Millar then joined Lombard Odier as Director and Head of European Investments. During his five years stint in London, Millar created and launched two investment trusts on the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”) and developed their high-regarded investment team. In the late 1980s, Millar founded and managed Law, Dempsey & Company in London, an investment management company backed by AIG. Millar subsequently joined Voyageur Investment Managers as Investment Director where he created and launched the Voyageur European Smaller Companies Trust on the LSE.
