The UK-based investment manager has added to its fixed income investment team in Edinburgh.

Kames Capital has hired Grace Le from PricewaterhouseCoopers as a trainee investment-grade bond manager.

Le joins from her postion as senior associate, risk assurance/audit at PwC, where she supported the audit functions at various financial institutions. She also provided institutions with assurance over their profit and loss attribution and reporting processes, as well as detection of abusive trading behaviour.

Based in Kames' Edinburgh office, she will report to Stephen Snowden, who leads the firm’s non-financial investment-grade bond team.

“Grace joins us at an exciting time. Our fixed income asset base continues to expand rapidly and we expect the size of the team to increase further in coming weeks and months,” said Roberts.
