has appointed Steve Drew as head of emerging market credit.
Drew will work alongside Stephen Thariyan, global head of credit,
and Phil Apel, head of fixed income, in building out the emerging
market credit team, Henderson said in a statement.
Most recently, Drew was partner and head of global and emerging
credit at Thames River Capital, and, in a careers spanning over
20 years, he has also worked at JP Morgan Chase and Tudor
Capital.
“We will actively seek to apply Steve’s expertise to our existing
portfolios for the benefit of our clients as his approach to
investing, combining top down macroeconomic perspectives with
security selection, fits well with our established method. During
2014 we plan to hire an investment team specialising in emerging
market credit to support Steve. This will give us the background
to launch products in the area,” said Thariyan.
Earlier this year Henderson Global Investors promoted Paul
O’Connor to co-head of its multi-asset team and senior portfolio
manager for the firm’s £12.7 billion ($21.0 billion) property
business and appointed Rob MacQueen as a senior portfolio manager
to the Henderson UK Property Unit Trust.
