Henderson Global Investors Makes Senior Hire In London

London-based investment firm Henderson Global Investors 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.
