The new hire will form part of a 20-strong team.

Aberdeen Asset Management has appointed Paul Mehta as global head of loans in a bid to bolster its loans investment capability, it said earlier this week.

He will report to Steve Logan, global head of high yield, and form part of the firm’s 20-strong global high yield group.

Previously, Mehta worked as a senior trader in BNP Paribas’ loan and distressed debt team. Prior to that, he was part of the Parisian lender’s leverage loan, distressed and high yield sales team, Europe, Middle East and Africa.

“Paul’s appointment is part of our strategy to further strengthen our loans capability, where we have been investing for a number years,” said Logan.
