SEI Names Wealth Leader For UK, EMEA And Asia
The firm has also announced a number of other important roles as it seeks to realign its resources to capture growth opportunities.
SEI, the New York-listed
financial, technology and investment solutions group, has
appointed Ian Love as head of its asset management business for
the UK, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asian regions. This
follows a strategic alignment of the company’s resources to focus
on investing in and executing its growth strategies, SEI said in
a statement.
Love now leads SEI’s asset management strategy and oversees the
institutional and intermediary businesses outside of North
America.
A 20-year SEI veteran with a long track record of success, he
reports to Wayne Withrow, head of SEI’s global asset management
business.
“We believe the UK, EMEA, and Asian regions are ripe with growth
opportunities for SEI, and we are well positioned to capitalise
on these opportunities as the demand for outsourced solutions and
services increases,” Withrow said.
Love’s leadership team will focus on three key
channels:
-- Arjan Looijestijn, who will continue to lead the distribution
of SEI’s investment solutions to intermediaries, is recruiting a
head of sales for UK wealth management and IFAs to develop new
strategic partnerships;
-- Donald Baines has been promoted as head of the UK fiduciary
management team to build upon SEI’s market-leading reputation of
supporting defined benefit clients through all stages of their
investment journeys; and
-- Steve Charlton will continue to lead the SEI Master Trust and propel the company’s defined contribution proposition.
