Union Bancaire Privée appointed Stella Ma as a senior portfolio manager in its global and absolute return fixed income team, headed by Christel Rendu de Lint.

In her new role, Ma will co-manage UBP’s existing fixed income strategies alongside de Lint and Philippe Gräub and will support the expansion of the global and absolute return fixed income team’s range of benchmark-agnostic solutions, UBP said in astatement.

Ma joins from the Swiss Federal Social Security Funds, where she managed the organisation’s investment-grade corporate bond fund. She has previously held senior positions at BlueCrest Capital Management, Morgan Stanley and ING.

“Stella’s extensive experience as a credit hedge fund manager and investment-grade and high-yield analyst is a valuable addition to UBP’s fixed income team and is completely aligned with our long-standing top-down investment philosophy,” said de Lint.

Last month, Union Bancaire Privée appointed Peter Schimd from Julius Baer as senior managing director and head of UBP’s Zurich branch.
