Global Investors has appointed Mark Guirey as director of UK
institutional business development.
Based in London, Guirey will report to Andy Wiggins, head of UK
institutional. He previously spent 13 years at BlackRock where he
was a sales director.
“It’s great to have someone of Mark’s experience join the UK
institutional team, helping ensure we can deliver the level of
high-quality, informed client interaction that both we and our
clients expect,” Wiggins said.
The firm has more than €358 billion (£291.5 billion) in assets

emerging market fund. The Luxembourg-domiciled Allianz Emerging
Markets Equity Opportunities fund holds between 100 to 150
companies in its portfolio and is managed by Kunal Ghosh, in an
eight-member team based out of California.
