Kames Capital Continues Run Of Hires

The investment house continues to make appointments.
Kames Capital,
an investment house with offices in London and Edinburgh, has
appointed former Legal & General Investment Management senior
figure Andy Kelly as business development manager. He will be
based in London.
In a new role reporting to Peter Ball, director of institutional
business, Kelly will focus on introducing the firm’s cash and
liquidity solutions to corporate treasurers, pension funds, banks
and insurance companies.
The move represents the latest in a number of appointments by the
firm in recent weeks. For example, it has added two
co-managers to a pair of its funds. The funds are the Kames
Strategic Bond Fund and the Kames Strategic Global Bond Fund.
(See

At his previous role at LGIM, Kelly was head of corporate and
financial institutions. Before that, he was head of liquidity
distribution at that firm, where he established a third-party
liquidity distribution business. In a 27-year career, Kelly has
worked in treasury-related roles for Fidelity International, RBC
Dexia Investor Services, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and
Barclays.
Kelly will work with Kames Capital’s head of treasury Brian Jack,
who joined from Ignis in 2015 to lead the cash and liquidity
team, which oversees over £5 billion ($7.3 billion) on behalf of
insurance and third-party clients.
