ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., May 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Scout Investments, an investment management firm and affiliate of Carillon Tower Advisers, announced today that Timothy Burger, CFA, has joined Scout Investments as a senior analyst on the Small Cap team. Based in Scout's Kansas City headquarters, Mr. Burger joins the team led by James McBride, lead portfolio manager of the Scout Small Cap Equity Strategy, and will work with the team to conduct bottom-up fundamental analysis and valuation modeling to identify opportunities within the small-cap market.
