Both analysts will be based in London.
Hellyer comes from Aviva Investors, where she was a commodities and technical analyst in the emerging markets and Asian equities team.
Furman will come from Swiss-based asset manager Pictet, where he was part of the emerging markets equities team. He has had a focus on the Latin American region since 2008.
