Under the Microscope

Emmet Dunleavy

Job Title: I work as an analyst with the ESB Pension Fund. The role includes working with the Trustees on investment policy, manager evaluation, portfolio analysis and general investment issues. All my working career has been in investment markets and has included equity analysis, portfolio management and asset allocation.

Who are those closest to you? Wife Edel, kids William 10, Ellen 9 and Sarah 6.

How do you relax? A few games of soccer most weeks, the odd game of golf and by taking as many short breaks as possible in Wexford.

What is your greatest fear?
At present the biggest fear is not getting tickets for the All-Ireland football final! More seriously, failing health and old age.

Where do you consider is the most idyllic holiday location?
If you get the weather, the south of Wexford, otherwise the south of Spain!

What person has influenced you most?
My parents, who managed to run a successful business and family life, passing on essential values and encouragement all the time.

What upsets you most?
People being rude and ignorant. In particular, shop assistants who don't say thank you.

What are the values you look for in people?
Honesty , integrity, a good work ethic and a sense of humour.

If your house was on fire and everyone was safe, what 3 items would you bring with you?
Family photos, car keys and my credit cards!

What person would you most like to meet?
Warren Buffet, investment guru, who has made a fortune by investing in quality assets and holding them for a long time, just like the ESB Pension Fund.

What is your 'secret' ambition?
Run a marathon one more time under three hours, not likely on present form, and live long enough to enjoy the benefits of the ESB Pension Fund.
