Ken Lamden has been appointed as chief investment officer out of Barings London office, taking over from Marino Valensise, who will take on the role of head of multi-asset group following Percival Stanion’s decision to resign to take up an external opportunity, Barings said in a statement today.

Lamden previously worked at Schroders, where he was most recently global head of equities with oversight for over £90 billion ($150.4 billion) of assets. Prior to this, Lamden was CEO and chief investment officer of Schroders’ Australian business and responsible for the division’s equity, fixed income and multi-asset teams.

Further resignations include Andrew Cole and Shaniel Ramjee.

Barings has also appointed Sonja Laud as multi-asset income investment manager. She will be based in London and reports to Valensise. She joins the firm from Schroders where she was a fund manager with responsibility for five global equity funds that focused on income.
